Cow Skull Painted Turquoise Western Art

This turquoise cow skull was a collaborative effort. I cleaned the steer skull and applied gesso to all the surfaces, even the back. Then Liana painted the front, top and sides with professional grade, artist acrylics. It was my job to take the pictures and create the listing. I think we make a great team.

I found this cow skull packed away in storage. Rather than toss it, or give it away, I decided to clean it ,and ask my girlfriend to paint it. She is a professional, award winning artist, whose turquoise paintings have sold for hundreds of dollars. You can see more of her art work at

This turquoise painted bull skull was so much fun, that we have started another one. And maybe in the end, we are somehow honoring the animal by recycling nature and giving it a second life.

Well, I am off to hunt down more skulls. If you have any questions, just send me a convo.

Horseshoe Sculpture -The Cow Skull


Hello again...
This sculpture I started about 20 years ago.
My darlin' Liana "encouraged " me to finish it and here it is .
A lot of time and effort went into this piece. It has been so long I have forgotten just how much..
Well at any rate it is now finished and listed.
I really like the finish I have on this , it's an old leather look.
This will probably be a one-of-a-kind , it is very unique.
Reckon I had better get to work on the next creation.
See Ya
Tom
