Cows of Venspils

Via Google Translate:
“Ventspils [Latvia] is a city of sculptures. Naturally, the cows stand out among them, having become a sort of symbol of the city. There are about 30 cows in the city in total. Most of them (IMHO) can hardly be called ‘masterpieces.'”

The painting, titled A Golden Retriever at the Museum, depicts Mosser’s golden retriever, Lucas, and it became one of the most widely shared pieces of dog art in internet history.
