Has someone gotten your goat lately? Where does that saying come from anyway?
Phrase Finder believes that the saying is an American term dating back to the 1900’s and sticks by the “commonly repeated story which purports to explain the phrase’s origin is that goats were placed with racehorses to keep them calm. When ne’er-do-wells who wanted the horse to race badly removed it, i.e. they ‘got someone’s goat’, the horse became unsettled and ran badly.”
Ye Olde English Sayings theorizes that the origins of “getting your goat” is reference to “an old English belief that putting a goat in the barn would have a calming effect on the cows, hence producing more milk. When one wanted to antagonize/terrorize one’s enemy, you would abscond with their goat rendering their milk cows less- to non-productive.”
Either way, the common belief is “goats are the great calmers of nature.”
I just think they are cute. 😉

This is my “Monday” look. I can just feel it! With all of the copious administrative work I’ve done so far, there is barely a glimmer of hope that I will get to something fun today. But that’s almost a smile and I am trying to get there. 🙂

I am always trying to think of new subject matter to Stone Rock….one of my signature art styles. Lately I have been taking a second look at images and paintings that I have had up for a long time that have not received much attention. And it is working. I have sold pieces Stone Rock’d that never sold without it. My latest transformation is here. I have taken “Pinky” below and added my trademarked Stone Rock’d pattern for an interesting and “Pop Art” effect. I had a pet goat as a child named Lulu Bell….she would be proud. 🙂

That’s right…it’s not a fish today. 😉 I do enjoy creating artwork with animals as the subject matter. The Universe has provided us with such an array…so many colors, textures and expressions. When a friend agreed to allow me to photograph her companion lizard Lizzy, I was thrilled. Such a beautiful gecko girl with large expressive eyes. Perfect for a great art painting. Contrary to the popular belief that reptiles are cold and heartless, Ms. Lizzy is quite the love bug wanting scratches and touch. Some say reptiles only learn trust and safety and that is why they can respond affectionately. This may be true, but either way she was a joy to play with, photograph and paint!
