Cow Bell 1935 - 1942

Dorothy Brennan's "Cow Bell" is a watercolor on paper painting created between 1935 and 1942. The artwork portrays two cowbells, one with "OSTARR" embossed on it and the number "2" below, the other viewed from an oblique angle. The artist's keen observation of the subtle textures and colors of the weathered metal creates a realistic representation of the bells. This work exemplifies Brennan's focus on everyday objects and her ability to find beauty in the ordinary.
