Morrinsville Cow Project 2015
So far there are fifteen painted cows dotted all over Morrinsville. When I visited the Wallace Gallery there was one outside and I told the gallery curator, Justin Morgan, I thought it was brilliant and would have loved the opportunity to paint one. He told me another fifteen were on their way and I was welcome to apply.
A few days later Justin called me with the wonderful news that he had shown Mary & John Gibson my flower greeting cards knowing that they wanted flowers on their cow and that they thought my style was perfect.
I now had a cow and was over the moon :)
Following is the link to the Morrinsville Street Art facebook page for all the info about this project:
