Artist Cynthia Burke has a show in town of her amazing animal paintings. From her artist's statement she says:
"As I thought about beauty in the animal world I considered our own relationship with "Her," the feminine just seems right. Some of the big fellows are displaying a touch of their feminine side: the veil on the Kudu, the nest in the antlers of the stag, the dainty hankie on the horn of the Big Horned Sheep."
Looking at the painting I wondered if the hankie hanging near the animal's eyes didn't project our emotion of despair on the Big Horned Sheep as it contemplates the gradual and inevitable destruction of its habitat by humankind.

Very Good! The Big horn is in fact lamenting his possible dimise in the not so distant future. I've never mentioned that to anyone and you are the first to get it. Thanks for enjoying the show!
