Sometimes ideas pop out of nowhere.
I was sitting at a desk, bored when I felt compelled to draw this cow.
The idea of using soybeans for horns, ribs and a tail appeared in the same instant.
I have been vegetarian for 15 years and the idea of extending compassion to all living beings through my food choices certainly inspired this watercolour. The puddles around the cow are coloured: white for peace and hope, red for blood and the brutality involved in harvesting animals and black for anguish.
