Title: Miss Azalea Location: Eleanor Tinsley Park: Allen Parkway At Buffalo Bayou Artist: Molieve Sponsor: John and Carroll Goodman This grazing cow is adorned with profusion of spring flowers such as tulips, iris, dogwood, and of course azaleas. The tail and horns are graced with a touch of grapevine and smaller flowers. The hooves and legs are completed with rocks and flowering shrubs. The Texas blue sky background is enhanced with airy trees, clouds, and large azaleas. The forehead of the cow has a Texas shaped cloud with twining vines. The artist explains, “I love Texas history and we are so lucky to have a part of our history preserved so well in the grounds at Bayou Bend, former home of Houston philanthropist, Ima Hogg. Houston and azaleas are a great combination. I hope others will be reminded of the beauty of Houston in the spring when the azaleas are in bloom.”				This cow was sold in the live auction conducted by Sotheby's on December 6, 2001 at the Wortham Center.
