Full of Cow Pies!!!!

Posted on 08:51 by Unknown

I had collected a lot of cow paintings when living in my Watertown home.
Remember my den????

It had 21 oil paintings of bovines on the walls.
I wasn't about to get rid of them, having risked my life acquiring the suckers, so I figured I would spread them out around my living and dining room.
Not the normal pairing with cabbage roses,
 but you gots to work with what you gots.

this is the first one I bought,
 and it started me down the dark and dangerous road 
of collecting oil paintings of a specific subject. 
I was in my early 30's and didn't know how much trouble I was getting into.....
no one warned me.....
let this be a cautionary tale......
One leads to another......
And before you know it you have walls of the damn things....
I do love the way they look against the white wood walls.....
And I LOVE the little cow on top!!!
Across the room are 6 more cow paintings.....


Some to the left of my sofa.....
And some to the right of my sofa.....


Look!!!!
They're looking at each other!!!!!

Except the guy in the lower left....
What's his problem anyway?????
(Actually, I think it's a HER)
Then of course.....
there are a bunch more in the dining room.....

Now if you've been counting, you may wonder...
"where are the other two???"
Here's one by itself....
In some of these, you have to look closely to see the cows.....
(They're on the hill)
In others, they're right front and center....
I had run out of wall space in the living and dining rooms, so this one overflowed into the family room.
He's not the best painting,
And I damaged him a lettle bit,
BUT
I thinks he's got a lot of character, for something so full of
bull #$%


And on that erudite note, 
I will sign off....
