You're not crazy. I've seen similar - other animals - at Home Goods and am in love, myself. Buy them.

Charming! Where will you use them?

I was thinking either Here:

and here:

OR

in my family room here (on the right - this is the original owners stuff not mine - I have nothing on the wall on the right now. :

I have Bessie in our lake house and love her!!!

I think my 4 and 7 year olds would just love them. I am not so sure about DH :)

I love them! The pig reminds me of precious Esther the Wonder Pig and that cow has just about the sweetest cow face I've ever seen.

Buy them.

What's the problem? They're great!!!. ( I think the hallway is calling them home)

Get them! Your very own bohemian livestock. Plus, your kids will love them!

Very cute! You should get them with no regrets!

ETA: I actually thought you were going say they were for the new bathroom you've been putting together! LOL

I like them, too. I vote for the stairwell, as I wouldn't want either of them looking at me if I were eating something beef or pork in the family room (if you eat snacks in there)!

I love them!! My late husband would have bought them himself. My avatar is my adorable cat Bessie (Holstein markings), and I'm very partial to the name

My daughter has the cow one. She wanted it for Christmas a few years ago and I tried to get it in my SUV. Nope, DH had to come in his F150 to pick it up. Still laughing about that one. It looks really cute in her apartment.

They look happy and they make me smile. Art should always make you happy. Buy them!

and here I thought you all would talk me out of it!

There is a selfie view too. cracks me up

I love Bessie and Penelope. I've seen Bessie before and wish I had her! I do have 'Donald' (the goat) though, painted by a local artist. The selfie is hilarious!! You MUST get the pair! So fun!

Love the technique/style of the artist. Anyone seen a dog by that artist?

powermuffin, look here. Likely not the same artist, but a similar style with dogs...

Dogs

ETA, I finally found the artist (not easy when every result is pinterest)..

Kay Smith Brushworks

I love the selfie version of the three animals...adorable!

They are darling and would make me smile every day.

I really want the selfie. http://www.kirklands.com/product/Art-Wall-Decor/Art/Framed-Art/Barnyard-Selfie-Framed-Art-Print/pc/2283/c/2293/sc/2669/200904.uts?icid=RECSpdp 

And of course the other two to go with it. How could you be in a bad mood looking at those?

And the dog!

I am so disappointed that there is not a kirklands by me so I have not purchased them yet. the shipping on the selfie is over $80!

$80.00 is ridiculous. We have a Kirklands just down the road. If it weren't so large, I'd be happy to buy it and ship it to you.

That said, I see these types of paintings all the time, even on Etsy. Why not do a search on Pinterest to see if you can find something you like as much

I do think I have seen Bessie in a smaller version -like maybe 20 by 26 ?-( or something remarkably close) at Home Goods/TJM/Marshall's. Maybe you will get lucky and stumble on her and Penelope at one of those. I will keep my eyes open.

I love them. I hope you can find them somewhere!

OK I have a large area to fill and I figure if I spend $500 (with shipping) to fill the tall walls in my entryway, that is probably an OK deal for my overall budget (not that I should be spending it now while we are doing that bathroom, but ya know how that goes :)

Here is the issue - I get too analytical and matchy matchy sometimes (me??? yes me ;) :) )

So the two big guys match each other in style and tone.

but, I LOVE the selfie!

If you notice - the selfie has two different cows! Grrrr. I think you could convince yourself that the pig is the same pig. (yes I know I am nuts)

I found what looks like the same brown cow(ish)

I found the exact other cow - but of course not for sale anywhere :(

but I like this one too and it is close:

So = buy the two that dont match and the selfie and stop being so analytical about all of this? buy the brown and black and white cows the pig and the selfie?

btw - there is a giraffe too! but I like sticking with the barnyard theme :)

Awww, they are all so happy to look at! I like the rest, except for the brown cow. Too sedate for me. But, my two favs are still Bessie and Penelope. They just work together so wonderfully, the colors, and overall size of the figures themselves. And, in my mind, they look like two barnyard gal pals, ready to exchange views on the world around them.

I like the first two as well, however I was in Kirkland's yesterday and I have to say, that selfy picture is pretty darn cute in person

I love them all! I'd get one myself if (1) they weren't so huge and (2) I had any spare wall space in my house. (But if it were small enough, I'd find room.)

You all are enablers. :) that is what DH sort of said Sueb20 - he said you have not unpacked the art we have in the basement. how do you know you need more. the thing is that this house is different and has high ceilings. just some walls cry out for larger artwork I think. we have never had rooms like this before! :)

I like bessie and penelope too Lynn. Lukki - it is good to hear the selfie is cute in person!

They remind me of some pigs I met in Iceland a couple of years ago!

The selfie isn't so big if you take the frame off. There's a Kirklands probably about 60ish miles from me.... But it still doesn't match my house at all. The kitchen would be the best place but there is no wall space left there and if I put it in my bedroom I'd never see it. But I still want it. I doubt I could blow it up to recipe card size and just sit it here on my desk. I suppose it would be all fuzzy.

I am so happy to know I am not the only one obsessed with these. I am sitting here debating about them before I go to bed! :)

Sir Goat surveys the breakfast table. I smile every time I look at him. You can't go wrong!

$80 is a lot for shipping Boop and it's literally just down the road from me. If it will help, I can stop by and take a pic so you have a "real life" visual. I probably should have taken one when I ran in there the other day. It's rather large.

I want the giraffe! Are these all at Kirkland and nowhere else?

I've seen some of these on e-bay under abstract animal canvases, about $35.00, forgot to look at shipment cost but for sure will be much less than $80.00.

I really like the first two and the selfie. I agree a photo bombing pig photo would be another perfect addition. Kind of surprised they haven't made one.

I love the pig and cows! My Kirklands did not have them when I looked yesterday, probably a good thing.

Whenever art becomes too popular I worry about seeing they same piece in numerous places. I once owned this. When I saw the same print at TJ Max, mine went to the St. Vincent store.

Love them!

You can also design one with fabrics/fibers if you like. Look at these two cuties!

I'm doing the seahorse now and its a blast. Easy and fun!

PS: No affiliation with link...just wanted to show other options.

Maddielees post is one postive to your not having a Kirklands in your area. Very little risk of duplicates as not many would pay the 80.00 for shipping.

I like your goat anniecat!

Lukki - that is so sweet of you. if you happen to go there for you, that would be great, if not no worries as I am still debating. I keep trying to find what this house is saying to me in terms of decorating and I haven't found it yet.

Sometimes it is hard for me to see past the ugly colors and carpet I think although overall I LOVE LOVE LOVE this house! I also wonder what the bathroom will look like. I know it is one small room, but i like things to be harmonious so it may set the tone for what I am doing. Makes me wish maybe I got those ralph lauren chairs from the auction place. :(

Sue - I have not seen that particular giraffe anywhere else yet.

Ingrid I looked on ebay but will look again. the ones I am looking at are very large!

Maddielee I totally had one of those prints! what is really funny is someone keeps trying to sell one on craigslist for $200. I keep thinking really?

I saw those last weekend. I think it was at Grand Inroads, either that or Frontgate.

Penolope is on sale at Grand Inroads.

I fell in love with and bought Bessie in the 36x36 canvas when she was for sale at Grandin Road, planning to hang her in our breakfast nook. She's still sitting in the box in our basement waiting for me to re-paint our breakfast nook. But I wish I could have picked her out in person, because the "brush strokes" added to the printed canvas on my particular version are gloppy and messy, and I was disappointed about that :( I showed it to my neighbor and she thought I was crazy and that the glops "added character." I kept it because I didn't feel like dealing with returning (or risking exchanging), but am worried when I finally hang the painting the glops will bother me. Had I known where to look locally, I would probably not have ordered it online.

I went shopping with my daughter today and we decided to check out a new At Home store that just opened not too long ago. They had a happy Penelope and the Giraffe there, as well as a Cow picture...All 3 are quite large.

My daughter said that the selfie pic gets her vote! It actually looks better than the others in person. (IMO)

The Cow has plastic cellophane wrapped around it.

Then we went to Kirklands...

BUT!!! Kirklands also had this one and we thought it was worth a picture posting as well. I like her expression and it's kind of pretty in person.

wow this was sooo helpful Lukkiirish!!!!! thank you so much. the selfie really is so cute! not so much the pig. I love the colors of the giraffe!

Oh you're welcome. The selfie is honestly the better of the 3 and looks the most true to life in the photos. Honestly? All of the others, look better in the photos then they do in person, except for the last one but I know that's not a look you're going for. That's just my take.
