Kostis, my friend, bit by bit your work gains in liveliness. And once again you have painted your figures in a marvelous way. Every publication of further photos is a pleasure for me, because it's so nice to watch this little scene.
I know you're always trying to reproduce the real life in your dioramas very authentically and correctly. And that is why i would like to ask you a question. So please don't misunderstand me. I don't want to criticize, i try to help. And perhaps my advice is not appropriate, because the conditions in your home are somewhat different from mine. So it also can be that i'm wrong. If it so, I would have learned something again. That's why i think, my question is not asked in vain.
Here it is: Is it customary in Greece to lead cows with nose rings? In the photo it looks as if it were guided in this way, isn't it? To my knowledge and the sighting of many older photos and pictures, nose rings are generally only used for the manageability of bulls. In this case through the nasal septum; this can be very painful, and the bull is brought to reason. Another shape of the ring with small spines is used for weaning calves and young cows from sucking, these are only clamped. Cows usually do not need a ring, they're less unruly as bulls and can be leaded with neck ropes.
Can you tell me more about the practises in your country?
