January 2006 - Oil paints on oil painting paper - approx. 70 cm x 50 cm.

A photograph in a newspaper was the inspiration for this. Three cows wading through a muddy stream in india were just begging to me to be turned into dragons ... (On this page on my homepage you can see the photo, If you are interested.)

Ellen Million Graphics sells prints of this piece.

Hi! I love this picture! I love the prospective that you've given us. And you've morphed two of my favorite animals! Dragons and...cows!!!! Are they cowlike???
