Sitting in the waiting room of a local physio clinic waiting
for the latest in a long string of treatments for what I call ‘gardeners
knee’, I was idly flicking through one
of those glossy magazines aimed at hoity toity living when I suddenly came to
an article that made me stop in mid flick.
The article was promoting Dorset Arts Week but what drew my nose down to
the printed page was not so much the headline but the subject matter of the
arty fartiness itself - cows on canvas.
Being a lover of all things bovine, it surprised me that
there was someone out there who had elevated these majestic creatures into
something much more than just grass eating poop machines. In the eyes of local Dorset artist Jackie
Spurrier, cows should be hung in a prominent position where they can be admired
by all rather than blamed for global warming. Her website
www.cowsoncanvas.com is an icon for cow
lovers everywhere.
In tribute to her marvellous talent in gracefully capturing the
ethereal beauty of bovines, I’ve created a ‘cows on photo-paper’ gallery of my
own:

| The milky bars are on me |
 |
| You looking at me? |
 |
| How now brown cow |
 |
| Looks like rain |
 |
| The laughing cow |
