Title: Gladiator - Russell Cow Location: Tranquillity Park: Smith and Walker Artist: BeverlyHillSmith.com Sponsor: Maximumcrowe.com Readers Artist Bevery Hill Smith is a huge Russell Crowe fan, a regular visitor to his Website www.MaximumCrowe.com. It makes sense then that when she cast about for design ideas for an entry in CowParade Houston she struck on “Gladiator Russell Cow.” However, she needed $7,500, the sponsor fee, to get her creation in the parade. She turned to the web site for help. Smith had her design and the request for sponsor funding posted on MaximumCrowe.com. Within three days Crowe fans had contributed more than enough. Over $18,900 had been raised for Texas Children’s Hospital. Looking for a unique piece of art for your home, garden, or office? Look no further--that is, if you're interested in a work with a bit of a bovine feel. This beautiful bovine is one of the nearly 330 life-size cows painted and sculpted by Houston-area artists and seen throughout Houston this summer as part of CowParade Houston 2001. This remarkable statue can be yours. Be part of the fun, and help an incredible cause along the way. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Texas Children’s Hospital Building for Children capital campaign and will help fund the expansion of the Texas Children’s Cancer Center.				This cow was sold in Flight 6 of the internet auction hosted by Amazon.com that ran from December 20, 2001 to January 8, 2002. Send a Postcard
