Does My Cow Look Big In This?
Cows Contre Jour
Bit of a Father Ted dilemma. Does that look like a giant cow on the right or is it obviously nearer than the others? It’s a casually achieved cow, a few strokes of paint, but whilst the eye and brain can be kind in constructing a cow from some vaguely cow-like marks they are unforgiving if something is out of scale, or out of perspective. I’ve been looking at it too long to decide, only one thing to do, put it to one side and when I next see it, it’ll be obvious.
