Wolfie DevilIn Memory of PinkySeveral years ago, my 7 year old friend Mikey went to visit his grandpa at the family farm in Ocala. Mikey and I had, had a lovely afternoon painting a few weeks earlier and Mikey was glad to have an Artist friend like me. Mikey’s grandpa told him that the Momma Cow had a new baby and Mikey was selected to pick a name for the new calf. Mikey chose the name Marcie. Of course I had to paint the calf and sign it Marcie rather than my artist name Cella. “Marcie” the new New Calf painted by “Marcie” AKA “Cella”. This was one of my favorite paintings.Koi Fishies
