Today’s masterly oil painting of Adora And The Cow was created by fine artist Carol Myer from Novato, California. Carol wrote: “I love to glimpse and then paint one of those moments that makes us who we are. I see kindness, compassion, a recognition of our shared life force. As a trained colorist, I paint the warm and cool subtleties of the changing light. I also teach classes and workshops.”
Here are portfolios of her portraits and her still life. It was based on this photograph from last year. Thank you so much, Carol!

Yesterday upon the stair
I met a man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
Oh, how I wish he’d go away
When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall
I couldn’t see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don’t you come back any more
Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the door
