Opticow is finally fully clothed! Now for her final coating to protect her from the elements. My father is going to give her several layers of high gloss automotive clear coat and then she's ready for the wild... well, Boston, which is not exactly native territory for our bovine friends.

There has been some debate as to what the pattern of Opticow Should be called. Everyone seems to have a different idea of what it looks like. What do you see?

After 11 days of working, approximately 40 hours of work it may appear that the end is near, but there's quite a bit of work to do! There are large sections left on the belly, buttox, and udders of "OC," as my mom calls the cow. I'm hoping another two painting session will wrap up the drawing. Then we'll move onto varnishing. Mooooo!

I'm still awaiting my drop off date. So until then, if any of you want to drop by while I'm working, just let me know, and I'll be glad to let you know when i"m in the "studio," couch, er, I mean, mom and dad's basement.
