Molly

Molly is a rescue cow from TOLFA India.TOLFA (Tree of life for Animals) is an animal hospital and sanctuary situated just outside the holy town of Pushkar in Rajasthan.  I met Molly during my visit to TOLFA in January 2018 during which I took some photographs that formed the inspiration for this painting.Molly previously had an owner but when she stopped producing milk they put her out on the street to fend for herself as is the sad fate of many female cows in India. Whilst roaming in busy Ajmer city she was clipped by a vehicle that damaged her hind leg and that's when the team at TOLFA were called to her rescue. Her leg hasnowhealed but the injury means she has a permanent deformity and this is why she will stay at TOLFA for the rest of her days.
