It was such a pleasure to meet you at the Writer's picnic. I finally found your post about the picnic late one night. When I returned to comment, it was gone. I hope you got my emails thanking you for mentioning me and the piece I read. I have joined your followers, and will look forward to seeing you again at the meetings. Cynthia Fleetwood<br />P.S.

That is a very special cow. And the chickens. Don't for anything paint those chickens out. You do real good chickens and I think they are very happy. Paint out the King and Queen if you have to, but leave that cow and those chickens alone.mac grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807877390382252386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2306087450570351277.post-73544760787374160142009-07-20T11:28:24.538-04:002009-07-20T11:28:24.538-04:00Yes, they look very content in their happy land. T...Yes, they look very content in their happy land. This is a feel good painting. Makes me long for a lost Eden. The hold leg ceremony huh? Interesting. The only person I ever saw do anything like that was when Harpo Marx would invade people's space and put his leg in their hand. Oddly enough it makes sense in this context- an overly intimate gesture that people recoiled from.Steve Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09076817689366222035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2306087450570351277.post-33990748937853293562009-07-16T15:45:43.409-04:002009-07-16T15:45:43.409-04:00That is really some fine work!

The tidy fields, the charming king and queen, (Did you know that in some part of Africa, 'hold leg' is courtship behavior? -- I read that in a National Geographic about forty years ago), the vegetable bounty, the iconic sun, and the lunatic expression on the cows' faces. BRAVO!!!Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.com
