Now or Never: I Never Saw a Purple Cow

COLLECT WITH CONFIDENCE

Most of the paintings I post are recently completed and may need a couple weeks to dry before they can be safely varnished and shipped. I do my best to photograph them accurately, but your monitor may be different from mine. I will, however, promise you that they will look a whole lot better in person, and if for any reason you don't like a painting, I will refund all your money, including shipping and fees, if you inform me within a week. I ship everything insured, no exceptions. Prints are available through IMAGEKIND (click here to see what's available) and SOON through my website at Artspan.

I Never Saw a Purple Cow

6 X 8 oil on masonite $115
includes shipping and insurance

...and you're not seeing one now! This cow is more blue than purple, but it's still a bit on the fantasy side, I'd say.
One of my Daddy's favorite poems to quote when he was in a silly mood was "I never saw a purple cow, I never thought I'd see one. But I tell you this right now: I'd rather see one than be one." I'm not really sure if there's some really deep philosophical meaning in that poem - but I do know that it made a little girl giggle every time she heard it.
Song of Solomon 6:9
but my dove, my perfect one, is unique, the only daughter of her mother, the favorite of the one who bore her. The maidens saw her and called her blessed; the queens and concubines praised her.

Remember "It's better than holding a wet mule in the rain"? Not much sense in THAT one! That was my favorite "Dad" saying.......; July 4, 2009 7:30 PM
