On the road last weekend, heading up to a friend's house, we passed fields of cows. It was strange blustery weather, blue sky in patches, storm clouds gathering, snow showers interspersed with drizzle. The cows were oddly spaced, not gathered in herds. I began to see them as game pieces. So here's a kind of magical realism journal page.
I love love love how you did this landscape. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI recently did some cows, and a dog with a checkerboard below him. How funny. Love your journals and hope someday to have a journaling adventure with you!
ReplyDeleteHAd you just seen some cows and dogs who seemed to be playing chess? What IS it with these animals right now??
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeletecowchess? i love your gameboard, gwen. fun.
ReplyDeleteStrange - I have a field of cows from September to April every year to gaze at from my bedroom window - I was thinking only this morning of the way they had arranged themselves........it looked like some kind of square dance going on here in Northern Portugal on a lovely sunny morning.
ReplyDeleteThanks, all you cow fans. I like the image of a cow square dance, too, Lin! Nothing beats living near cows. There is a herd that rotates into the field behind our house every few weeks, and I always love hearing and watching them. One time I made a map of their movements over the course of a day.
