Jumping Clifton Cow
Oil on canvas, 8" x 10", February 4, 2003
Tom lives in Clifton, a neighborhood of Cincinnati. The cow got loose from a
nearby meatpacking plant and roamed the woods for two weeks around his home. He
never saw the cow but they did capture it on the street one block North.
Tom has painted the Clifton Cow three times. The color versions will be fought over by his wife and the neighbor. Tom's
neighbor gave him an old pushcart that he made for his daughter to sell books on
Ludlow Avenue. They made several hundred dollars. The pushcart's name was after an
old bookstore in Boston. If you lived in the Village in the sixties you might
remember his daughter pushing the cart on Ludlow Avenue. The guts of the cart
perfectly suited Tom as well as the splendid awing. Tom discovered the
pushcart's existence while showing his neighbor the artwork, the image below,
for the invitation of the Fourth of July Block Party his neighbor sponsors every
year. Tom said that he would trade the painting for the pushcart but his
wife wanted it, so Tom painted another one, above. Maybe his wife will want both
of them and he will have to paint another. You can always commission another
oil.
