The second of my paintings today out at Grasshopper Loop in La Honda, CA. 8.5x5" gouache on paper. "Purple Cow".
Painted from memory in about 20 minutes while waiting for others to finish. My thought was to do something I never do in a way that I never do it, and that's exactly what this was.
So here's the childhood poem that inspired it by Gelett Burgess:
I never saw a Purple Cow,
I never hope to see one,
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one!
La Vache Qui Rit indeed! He's laughing at me for sure.
