"Grumpy Cow" // https://www.lucyeshaw.com/warehouse-open-edition-prints/art_print_products/grumpy-cow-lucy-e-shaw
I ran out of canvases, so I painted over a beautiful poster by the UK/Myanmar artist Ohn Mar Win which I bought to support the Burmese people after the military coup in Feb 2021. It made me so sad to look at it though, that I couldn't ever put it on the wall. I really struggle to hold tragedy and injustice on a daily basis. I can't watch or read the news too often or I become completely demoralized and no use to anyone. As long as I am lucky and privileged to be able to do so, I want to stay optimistic and constructive, actively loving and participative. So here's another cow, full of life and love and attityaoood. When I paint my cows, in my head I am painting women: women's strength, courage, patience, kindness, sass and lust for life!
