How come a lot of them have their tongues out?

 

[Pod]

They are concentrating, like a child does when drawing or something. Sticks out the tongue in focus.

You can see right through the cow's nose too!

In that context your right. I do that at work with difficult assemblies.

Thanks for leading us to this website, Pod! It's a visual feast. I personally get a lot of joy from visual experiences, especially where mind meets art.
But also, don't forget the edible variety. Look at this piece of edible art from Lauren Ko (Seattle) and there are so many more:

One of the things I find funny about this guy's work is that the landscape settings reflect many old masters and traditional paintings. And then you find the content completely bizarre and diagonally opposite to what you might expect in those settings.

That's udderly amazing!

How are you Melt? I started to read a post where you were describing your pain then I lost the post and could not find it again.

 

[Snowmelt]

I had tendonitis in my wrist and arm (the one I write with). But that has cleared up with rest and massage. I don't like to wear gadgets for this kind of thing, but to let nature take its course. Thanks for asking.

Ah yes now you point that out I see it. Thanks Melt!

It's a-moooo-zing!

Does anyone else moo at cows when you drive by? They just give me this crazy look when I do that, like "Look, Mary, there's another guy mooing at us."

I sing to them. They are particularly keen on "The Sound of Music"

You're certainly no COWard if you try this pose.

Heifernly Sinera.

Whooo boy, we seem to be milking this for all it's worth.....

 

[Snowmelt]

As a young woman striking out in a foreign land (NZ) I mooed at a whole field of cows. I was walking past, so the experience had time to settle in. Very satisfying, and completely meaningless.

I think I meant diametrically opposite - it has taken me a couple of days to think of that.

I believe cows only have 4 teats. Are the 6 teats in the painting an intentional mistake?

Cows have 4 functional teats but may have 1 or 2 extra that don't do anything.

Found this picture - so we now we know that goats are in on the show.

 

[Pod]

You are kidding me!

That tail is the real reason it's called bum fluff.

 

[Lila]

That's a pretty classical background that the goat put behind it's own picture, isn't it?
I wonder if it signed its own artwork?
Or maybe it means something in goat language when one raises one's goaty butt that way? Oh, don't get me started on those possibilities

 

[Linda]

I was looking for more info about goats and found that they are inquisitive and easily bored, which leads to all kinds of antics. Then I found this photo of tree goats.

So amazing, they look like decorations
