Mid-Century Modern #1

I grew up in the suburbs of Long Island, and painted my first cows when, after college, I moved to western Massachusetts for a high school art teaching position. That was January 1974, and the school, founded in 1881, was on a working farm. The back door of my teaching studio opened to a fenced barnyard of...(do I need to say it?)...Holstein cows! It wasn't until 1980 that I did my first cow-on-a-couch. It's an idea I've revisited in recent years.
