Paintings - 2001

2001 might be called my "Bovine Period."  So much so that a friend
 threatened to stop talking to me if I did another painting with cows.


"When Pigs Fly"     Acrylic     2001
OK, so this one is not about cows.  But browse on ...
Later used for other work - Click here


"Six Dancers with Cow"     Acrylic     2002
What is the cow doing among the dancers?  I have no idea.


"Self-Portrait with Cows"     Acrylic     2002
I previously titled this "An Artist Out Standing in His Field," but I
became afraid it would be taken for boasting, and not a play on words.


"Self-Portrait with Jumping Cow"    Acrylic     2001          (Look closely.)


"Jumping Cow with Angel"     Watercolor     2001
An earlier version of the same idea, in watercolor.


"The Purple Cow"     Acrylic     2001

You've probably heard this poem:

I never saw a purple cow,
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one.

Now, who composed those memorable lines?  You probably guessed
Ogden Nash, right?  Wrong!  The author was Gelett Burgess (1866-1951).
