Hey…Does This Cow Make Me Look Fat???


LOL…….LOL……yes, some silliness today!  I certainly hope I wouldn't look fat standing next to a cow!!!  Well…..it might take standing next to a cow to make me look
skinny!

What my title should have been is…. Does This Sketch Look Like A Cow???
I quickly pencil sketched this cow( just to see if I could ) from a link I saw on Karen Dianne's blog.  The link was titled Burlap and Hay.
LOTS of great photos……all country cute and stuff!

ANYWAY…since we raise cattle (all 600 head) I have always wanted to do a cow portrait for 
Mr. Browndirt's office.
Our cows won't stand still long enough for me to get a good photo and besides, I am scared of them…..LOL….I'm afraid they will run me over!!!

I am an artist/painter from w-a-y back and maybe, just maybe I'll get a cow painted on some canvas.

Here is one of my ALL time favorite pictures.  It is titled "HER FAVORITES" and is marked copyright 1901.  I bought this for MY birthday numerous years back.  It has a little water
mark damage at the bottom, but that's ok
I still LOVE her anyway!

Speaking of COWS…..yes, we're STILL speaking of cows.  I'm also working on another sketch
to do one of


Mary Lou Weidmans cow quilts…..found in this book of hers and Melanie McFarlands.

 Mary Lou's cow quilts are just showing up ALL over the place.  CUTE CUTE CUTE!! Yes, I want one too!!

Below are some of my favorite COW pieces we have collected through the years.

 Plate I have hanging

 Cheese Keeper

Toy Cow that walks when it's on a tilted surface…FUN!

1945 Calendar…..advertising for Lumber Co. in the town I grew up in…..I swoon over this one!


Ok……enough of the COW talk!

Moo Ya Later!
