To the left we have Happy Hereford copyright 2010 by Martha Putnam. The subject of this painting is a steer that has acres of land to roam on full of tender shoots of grass. Truckloads of fresh hay will materialize the instant the grass is gone. There are no wolves or predators anywhere close by. The steer's image expresses extreme contentment.
Below we have Owl in Flight copyright 2000 by Dave Putnam. This sculpture shows an owl swooping in for a kill. He is very happy. Owls and cows have diametrically opposed world views. The message here is happiness comes from fulfilling your true nature. Maybe you are a professional prizefighter and hitting people makes you unhappy. Probably your true nature is more like the Happy Hereford and less like the owl. In this case you should switch careers.
