Street Mache - Dog with a Flap Ear
4/26/20
This photo was taken on March 11, 2020 at 4:09 AM.
The location was in Washington DC at the entrance drive to a very upscale hotel which is paved in cobble stones.
The "Take It!" came from having had a second look at this unusual scrap of paper which appears to have been a tear out originally which differs from most paper I
observe in the street (Most have defined edges found on such things as, discarded napkins, register receipts, food wrappers, etc.).
The fold over ear - was the part that had me look twice to see if there was any way to draw from imagination a figure common enough to relate to.
Quite frankly - I think it looks more like a cow - but then, from the best of my recollection - cows do not have floppy ears - lol.
Here is hoping this bit of scrap brings a grin in your day.
Wishing you all my best,
Bruce
PS: By the way - while the cobble stones give a very cool and rustic look to the entrance - the personnel who staff the entry dislike the unevenness found with
them as they are punishing to their feet (even with super soft soled footwear to absorb this rough surface).

I agree it does look like a cow.

Our little one absolutely loved this one. She had it up for over a half an hour.

Zero imagination required here. Dog, cow, either work.

I wonder how it got there and ended up in that exact shape.

You should make a book of all these.

Thanks to everyone for your kind comments. I am very happy this one brought such enjoyment.
A special thanks to Gabe for the suggestion for a book. I will try a small gallery show here at the house to see if they spark an interest and will let you all know the results. I am working on a way to put on such a show - using the IKEA shelving units I have which are the cubicle type. When it is put together I will make up a photo/story and share it with everyone. I am doing my best to get everything well organized since my move to this location - and am happy to say - I am making some progress.
My best to every one.
