Coral Cow Skull

This piece speaks to anyone who's felt the magnetic pull of the Southwest desert. Like Georgia O'Keeffe before us, I've been drawn to the raw beauty of cow skulls - nature's perfect sculpture, weathered by sun and time.

Using paint syringes and spray techniques, I've created layers of depth that invite you into the desert's mystery. Look closely, and you'll discover ghost-like images floating through the bone-white skull, as if sharing stories of its past. The edges shimmer with hand-detailed gold designs, catching light like the desert sun on sandstone.

What makes this piece special is its tactile quality - the horns have such a realistic, weathered texture that collectors often can't resist reaching out to touch them. While the skull appears to have basked in decades of desert sun, I've honored its resilience by highlighting the enduring beauty that remains.

This is more than wall art - it's a piece of the Southwest's soul, perfect for anyone who feels called to the desert's timeless wisdom. Each time you pass by, you'll notice something new in the interplay of light, texture, and detailed ghosting effects.
