Bovine Ballonacy, Atlanta Cowparade 2003
 Today is the start of the 34th Annual Balloon Festival, Readington, NJ.  I plan to go for the first time in years as the Tour De France does not interfere with it.  This cow says - go see the balloons!

I envisioned the udders as gigantic balloons. The balloons soaring signifies freedom of spirit. The whimsical circus figures are part of the playfulness that is characteristic of my paintings.

Pennsylvania Donkey, Donkeys Around Town 2016
Saturday, on  one of the hottest days of the year, I saw this donkey and 25 more with my sister.  This donkey is unusual because the name of the state is on the back.  All of the other donkeys we saw had the state name on the front.

 Artist Description of Cow
My inspiration for the Bearden Bovine comes from the artwork of North Carolina-born artist, Romare Bearden, along with my own personal love of colour. Bearden’s artwork of collage and mixed media was a leading artistic concept in the Harlem Renaissance movement.

Dog Days

(religion, spiritualism, and occult)Dog days are a 40-day period, usually given as July 3 to August 11, that is regarded as being the hottest time of the year. This period was originally calculated from the heliacal rising of Sirius, the Dog Star, after which dog days received its name.
