The Purple Cow

Day 27 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days.  Pastel.  2.5" x 3.5".

I have loved purple my whole life.  My father couldn't stand it!  But he did like to recite often 

the poem by the American poet, Gelett Burgess. The poem was written in 1895. The poet

was annoyed that he was mostly known for The Purple Cow, and wrote a sequel about it. 

Many other poets of the time wrote parodies of it. I would love to see a purple cow!
