Artwork Description

Ken and Girl

0.0 x 0.0

Pastel - 2009 Ken was a share milker whose cow herd was sold off towards the end of his milking days. Ken had become attached to one particular cow in the herd, who he named "Girl" When Ken retired, he visited Girl on a daily basis by bicycle,taking treats such as hay and molasses to her. Girl lived to a ripe old age as did Ken. I read this story in the newspaper and felt compelled to paint the two of them. When completed I forwarded the painting to this gentleman who by that stage was in a Rest Home. I believe Ken had it placed on the wall in his bedroom.
