CowParade Austin kicked off last week in Austin. Local artists have decorated about 100 large bovines which are now on display throughout Austin. The cows will be auctioned at the end of October to benefit the Dell Children’s Medical Center.

According to their web site, “CowParade exhibits, held in 75 cities in 30 countries on six continents to date, have produced more than 5,000 of the signature cow canvases by local artists.” Austin joins Philadelphia, Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, Porto Alegre (Brazil), Panama City, Nicosia (Cyprus), Verona (Italy) and Shanghai as sites for this year’s CowParade exhibits.

As you might remember, I was pretty obsessed with the Play Me, I’m Yours pianos earlier this year so I wasn’t expecting much from this latest outdoor art event. But I must admit that most are beautiful works of art. Here are some of my favorites:
