More notes from the barn: March 2006
This lovely gal has already logged 200 hours of my time! I often spent large blocks of time painting and felt like I accomplished very little. These cows are life size folks and full of curves! ("Real gals have them" and Babu is no exception.) It isn't easy painting on dips and curves, not to mention the crawling around and under legs and udders. In the pic above Babu is about 2/3 complete. Her babushka is primed and ready to be painted. The babushka ties survived the chewing festival of another local four legged creature, an old, blind American eskimo doggie who was not happy about the attention Babu was taking away from him. Doggie survived albeit a sour stomach for several days following...
Note to myself: Pay more attention to dog!
