Got Your Goat!


Goats are amazing critters! They are sweet and affectionate as well as curious and entertaining. They are also destructive and sometimes just plain onery! In my post-college years we raised goats--Nubian Goats. And we milked them twice a day. Our children drank goats milk, I made the best aged cheeses I have ever eaten, and baby goats were a constant presence in our daily lives. Then we moved to the city because a job was the reason we went to college. I mourned  as they were lead away to a new home and I have missed them since then. So when looking for subjects to paint I remembered how much I loved goats! Here are two signs depicting goats. They are hand painted-one on old barn wood and one on an oak table top.
They will go to Bowser's Emporium (my booth name at 2friends&junk) in Springfield MO in November.
The "Smokin' Goat" is $300.00 and the "Farm Fresh" is $280.00. They could hang outside in a protected location or be great above a mantel.
