Thanks, Dominique. Yes, the first image is stronger. The second was added mostly to show what was in the truck a bit more clearly. Dan On Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 4:07 AM, Madame RD romd...@orange.fr wrote: Le 10/06/10 04:56, Daniel J. Matyola a écrit : On the way home from work today, I ran

Dan, That does look like those English cows from Milton Keyes, but I'll bet it's not concrete! Chicago had one of the first cow display art projects (1999). Fiberglass cows were decorated and displayed locally at points all around the city. http://www.chicagotraveler.com/cowsonparade1.htm Your

The cow parade concept originated in Zurich. I saw them there years ago. Bern then had a similar project with bears, rather than cows. I have also seem mermaids (in Halifax). In our area, we had contests for decorating fiberglass horses as a charity fund raiser.

Dan, Like Wikipedia says, Zurich had lions in '96, then did cows in '98 and Chicago took it international in '99. It was a fun and a very public art celebration. (Now if we could just clew the Brits in to using fiberglass, not cement...) Regards, Bob S. On Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 9:11 AM, Daniel J.

Over the years, I have seen 7 or 8 of these events, where people got an animal and decorated it artistically as part of a community or charity event. By far the most clever were the Bears in Bern -- the variety and the humor were outstanding. Dan On Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 2:07 PM, Bob Sullivan

These cows or their predecessors were distributed around Houston in the early '90s.  This is a pic I took outside the Glassell School of Art, Pentax PZ3, lens ?, Agfa BW film, Scanned from the negative on Epson scanner. http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac164/gelewis_2010/TexasArtCow.jpg --
