White cow from India - painting

White cow from India, Acrylic and pastels on paper, 21x29 cm, Dez. 2023

I wanted to take something with me from India, so I painted this cow mask, from one shop in Thekkady:

First a preliminary drawing with white chalk:

The language Malayalam (spoken in the southern Indian state of Kerala) seems very, very difficult but I liked the Malayalam script.
So I asked the staff at Chill Valley how to write "The white cow of Kerala, India" - and my name.
At first I practiced in my sketch book before I wrote it down on my painting.

Thanks everyone! <3
Cheers!
