"Good Morning Miss Daisy"

Just finished up this sweet little lady this weekend...

well, almost finished, she's not even signed yet!

 I named the painting, "Good Morning Miss Daisy" because you can see that the first morning light is just coming out from behind the dark silhouette of the trees 

and I imagine that this soft furry face is right there every morning to offer a gentle greeting

My initial craving was to paint a white cow with a big pink sateen bow around her neck... but i think i might try that on one of the prints and photograph her for giclee prints as is...sans bow - hmmm, we'll see

I know it's hard to believe, not everyone wants a painting with a big pink bow somewhere in it...!

Almost a year ago, a very sweet lady emailed me asking if maybe some day i could paint her cows.  I told her to go ahead and send pics and maybe one day i would find just the right moment to  paint from one of the photos... 

I did tell her that there was no telling when or if it would happen, because i don't even know myself sometimes until the mood strikes me.  

It's been a while, and i imagine she thinks i had forgotten all about her... 

but i most certainly did not... 

I had a print of her beautiful cow sitting in my art room

and that photo started pulling at my heart

Well last weekend the moment came, and i felt compelled to paint this beautiful girl...  i have searched out the owner's email and sent her a letter explaining that her cow is ready.

  

She is under no obligation to buy the painting - 

who knows what her circumstances are now... 

But I did promise I'd offer her first choice - 

Now I'll just wait to see if i hear back from her

In the meantime, I'm enjoying her right here in my house 

 

so either way,...  I'm sure she'll find a good home somewhere, 

even if it is with me!

 so that's the simple little story of the painting named

"Good Morning Miss Daisy"

...the end...
