The Ox
Eleventh animal in my Chinese New Year Indoor Series - The OX !
Best view in LARGE
The Year of the Ox
1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997
People born in the Year of the Ox are patient, speak little, and inspire confidence in others. They tend, however, to be eccentric, and bigoted, and they anger easily. They have fierce tempers and although they speak little, when they do they are quite eloquent. Ox people are mentally and physically alert. Generally easy-going, they can be remarkably stubborn, and they hate to fail or be opposed. They are most compatible with Snake, Rooster, and Rat people.http://www.c-c-c.org/chineseculture/zodiac/Ox.html

As my good friend Mimi Laure and Juristar's son were born under the OX, this photo is dedicated to them :)

My eye is drawn more to the nice texture in the background. The bulls head seems a little over saturated for me.
I like it apart from those small points

I'm not eccentric, I'm not bigoted and I definitely do not have fierce temper. Not an OX either. Hehe. Almost at the end of the series. This is just as fabulous as the rest.

Oh my gosh!! This does sound just like me!! I am especially stubborn and all of the above.There is one thing that I disagree with.I do to like to talk ALOT, just ask anyone I know ( If they can get a word in).I am the mighty OX!!!
It kinda looks like me too :))
BTW-Love the details,the bamboo looks cool,and I will be biased and say this is the best one!!
Thank you,you are a friend indeed!!
