At the Museum ( after Charles Demuth)

I developed my love of art and art history on family pilgrimages to the Chicago Art Institute.  So when a dear friend had a special request for a painting with one of my cows at the Metropolitan museum in front of her husband's favorite painting it sparked excitement and thoughts of my cows visiting my favorite paintings.  It seems like a natural progression for my work and I am excited to see where it takes me.

" I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold" by Charles Demuth was painted in 1928 as a portrait of his friend the poet and physician William Carlos Williams using imagery from William's poem, "The Great Figure" which evokes the sounds of a fire engine speeding down the street. This painting has been described as influenced by Futurism and Cubism.
