- drawing in wake of farm animal attack
This was supposed to be “Coop on a Bridge 2”—from the other side. However, when I left my spot at the farm to go eat lunch with the other artists, I came back to find my equipment in disarray, pencils strewn over the grass, and this sketch lying face-down on the ground. My first reaction was “Oh no!” But then the humor of the entire situation hit me. Apparently, one of the donkeys, cows, or possibly the horse, had decided to express his opinion of my work! Other casualties included a 5H pencil that had been sampled, and half a stick of white charcoal. We weren’t able to get the animals in a line-up, but if we had, the guilty party would have been the one with the white mustache!

perfect compliment to a chicken coop 🙂
I surveyed this rickety horse farm one time and the guy told me the horses would
eat the paint off my truck.
It turns out that was no joke.
thanks for giving us something real!

Yeah, maybe he liked the sketch so much he ‘just wanted to eat it”!
I got a chuckle out of your horse story—although it sounds like your truck might have come away a little worse for the experience. You just never know what you’ll run into with animals. 🙂

I love this one. The story makes the drawing that much more meaningful. My money is on the donkey.

Thanks! The owner of the farm thought the donkey was the culprit, too! (But then, there are two; we don’t know if it was Fred or Wilma.) 🙂
