Hello everyone, greetings from North Carolina. I’ll be here a few more days and then head back to New Mexico. The countdown begins. We are four weeks to Naomi’s due date (6/21). Don’t know whether to expect a boy or a girl but we are getting strong girl vibes. Broadus would have preferred a big brother but he is excited about the new arrival. Now to go back and get ready…

Here is this week’s image prompt. I hope you can think of something to do with it. Enjoy!

You’re in North Carolina and you give us a cow picture. Hmmm. Must be ’cause I’m Canadian, but I just don’t see the connection yet 😉
Hopefully I’ll have something on this offering sooner than next wednesday this time.
Got my fingers crossed for you and yours for the next four(+) weeks.

I just saw a new born baby calf down the road from my house. The calf in the painting looks like it is trying to orient its self to the world.

What a great idea for a blog – glad I’ve found you. I live in the UK, Leicester and organise all kinds of arts projects for the local health service. At the moment we’re doing a touring art show and getting Jean ‘Binta’ Breese – who also lives in Leicester to run poetry workshops at each venue. The poetry coming out as a result of the pictures is so interesting – I’ll def have to come back and do something about one of your pieces:)

Hey Rick! I think might just do the entire punny cow one as well. If you get a chance, go back and see Maelstrom, now that it is formatted correctly (I have no idea why it all went together the first time I posted it).

This one has the potential to be either light or dark. I like paintings that give you the option.

Hi Ali, thanks for the note. I’ll be over for a visit shortly.
Arkay, I like the new formatting. And yes, do the punny cow!
James, I am enjoying the debate on your blog. I’m with you. I don’t want to be told how to live either. To each their own.
secretagentartist, your work is terrific. Please do come back.

Gotta love circles. It’s a great technical feat of dynamic focus, she is so clear even though she is in the middle distance. It will be interesting ekphrasia.

You always have such amazing colors and textures in your work, Rick. The perspective in this one is really intriguing — a fun painting to just sit and daydream with. 🙂
Congratulations on your impending re-entry into the wonderful world of sleep deprivation! 😉 Sending your family warm wishes for the arrival of your new little one.
Thanks for your kind words over at my place the other week — they put a welcome smile in the end of my day. (We’ve all been plagued with spring colds, so I haven’t been about much in Blogland)
Can’t wait to hear the answer to the ‘boy or girl?’ question!
