Just a Kid

When I was little my parents kept a few goats and we drank exclusively goat milk. One day we ran out and had to drink cows milk from the store. We thought it was disgusting! But we got used to it and when we had goats milk again we didn't like it anymore. Or at least, that's how I remember it. What's funny is that when I get together with my siblings, our memories never line up.

The reference photo for this was taken by my friend Bren before she passed. On one of our last visits we each went through the other's files and borrowed the photos we liked. Every time I paint one is a way for me to reconnect with her.

Billy Goat

This is another from one of Bren's photos. Every year she takes a bunch of photos of animals at a place in Maine, and recently she let me "borrow" a few. Someday soon I hope to take some myself in Oregon. Meanwhile, here in Germany, I have taken ... oh ... about 800 photos of cows, and will have a few paintings from them soon.
