Art // How Now Brown Cow

April 16, 2013

So this is going to sound a little crazy. Blame it on my midwestern roots or coming from a family of farmers, but I am sort of into the idea of cow art lately.

Yes, you read that correctly.

Before you write me off completely, know that there are some totally legit options out there. I mean, if Sharon Montrose is doing it, it's gotta be cool....

one // two // three // four // five // six

I'm specifically taken with that first one. Could be really beautiful in the right space, right??

Or have I officially lost it?

Sarah said...: I'm obsessed with animal prints - cows and horses specifically, which is odd b/c I don't really care for either in real life. I wanted to do a giant cow in the dining room but that grossed my husband out.; April 16, 2013 at 7:39 AM
Katie Waddell said...: I love that first one too, although they are all great. I have an oil painting of a mom and baby cow in my boys' room.....so no you haven't lost it! :); April 16, 2013 at 7:44 AM

Meghan said...: ha, when I finished my master's I was going to treat myself to this awesome cow painting on Etsy...until it got vehemently vetoed by my man. Looking at these I just may have to override his veto... ;); April 16, 2013 at 10:37 AM
