"Church Goat"

"Church Goat"  16" x 20"  Oil Monotype on Paper
Inspiration sometimes comes from seeing other artist's 
works. This painting is the reflection of my time spent 
admiring paintings by Marc Chagall.  Included in my 
imagery; a Duomo (Italian Cathedral), a Basilica (Roman 
Political Building), a Goat, the Moon, and an Olive Tree 
blowing in the breeze. All these juxtaposing images were 
influenced by an art exhibition I saw in Florence, Italy 
featuring Marc Chagall's paintings. His playfulness 
emphasized a positive quality. One that I really wanted 
to try to emulate. Whether I achieved that or not, 
I surely had fun.
