Three kings and goats

Being in the desert and hearing the calling of my neighbor's goats I thought of this small painting Tony did in 1992. Often goats would feature in his work, sometimes kind and whimsical like here, but also as a foreboding of evil things to pass. In this oil it is obviously spring, the young goats jumping and playing, a expression of a momentarily joy of life. Painted in Antwerp.
