About this film

This is the second remastered version of the video using a better copy, created in 2021 featuring an attempt to again improve both the video and audio quality of the original piece. Since the original video was shot in 1991 on VHS tape, this rework uses video AI software to restore the videos image. In this extended version we’ve also added still photos of the finished cow painting taken by Ed Jarvis, who worked at The University of Kansas and also owned the farm where the original video was shot. This video is from 1990, when I Father was known for Kansas landscape paintings, he began adding cows into his landscapes and one time at a dinner we (Kris & I) joked that he should paint a landscape on a cow. We were telling the story to some friends at work and my boss at the time, Ed Jarvis of Lawrence, overheard the telling of the story of the cow painting and told us that he had a cow we could paint. Kris and I went out to his ranch one afternoon to complete the task. Kris is the artist, I'm on the video camera and you can see Ed Jarvis and Fred Gutknecht in the background. Note: the cow initially started to panic because it thought Kris was a vet, but the cow calmed down after Kris…
