Blue Bell Creamery of Brenham, Texas commissioned Veryl to bring their
logo to life. Blue Bell was founded in 1907 and the silhouette of a little girl
leading a Jersey cow is well known in Texas. A young girl leading a dairy
cow, however, goes far beyond the Texas borders. It bring back images
of our ancestors co-existing with farm animals. It is a classic vision
of Americana.

"I researched Jersey cattle at Mountain Shadows Dairy in
Litchfield Park, Arizona. The owner was gracious in educating me
about Jersey conformation. An ideal cow was selected, video taped,
photographed, and measured. I sculpted directly from her on several
occasions. The little country girl was sculpted from Chessie Kimble in
Cortez, Colorado. Video enabled me to study the movement of both
Chessie and the Jersey cow, helping bring the silhouette to life from
360 degrees."

"Country Living" will be installed and unveiled
at Blue Bell Creamery's headquarters on June 28, 2007
to celebrate their 100th Anniversary.
