Holstein dairy cow created by

Colorado artist Lyle Nichols.

The installation is part of the

City of Westminster’s Public

Art Program. Metal artifacts

from the Historic Shoenberg

Farm were incorporated into

the sculpture. The sculpture is

called Dolly in recognition of

the Tepper family’s Dolly

Madison Ice Cream company

that operated from Shoenberg

Farm from 1941 to 2001. Ad-

jacent to the commercial de-

velopment is historic Shoen-

berg Farm, which was built in

1911 to provide dairy and egg

products for National Jewish

Hospital.

I fell in love with “Dolly” and visit

her on a regular basis. Well, maybe

only 3 times so far. But if you have-

n’t seen her, you need to go visit her

too. She is something special.

Keep painting,

Dianna

Misc. note:

When you finish a painting for a show,

please take a digital photo of it before you put

it under glass or apply a gloss varnish.

One of my long-time friends

called me the other day and

asked “What’s with that strange

looking cow? (see photo pg. 1)

My friend lives in Broomfield,

hasn’t heard of the Shoenberg

Farm or “Dolly” the cow at

72nd and Sheridan. I guess if

you weren’t aware of this won-

derful piece of public art that

resides right outside of

Quisno’s (Don’t they serve

beef?), you might wonder what

I was thinking painting the cow

the way I did.

For those of you that are un-

aware, here is the history of

“Dolly”

Dolly the Cow comes

home to Shoenberg

Farm (Sept. 17, 2009.

The Shoenberg Farm com-

mercial development at

West 72nd Avenue and

Sheridan Boulevard is now

home to Dolly, an 800-

cled metal sculpture of a
