What do you think of when you see a cow? Or a drawing of a cow? Much thanks to Peter Paul Rubens for his help with the drawing.
My original reason for drawing a cow was a I had a chance to read the parsha of Miketz (Torah portion) last week that was read today in the synagogue.
Your turn.
With a name like stars and stripes in the title of this post, perhaps you were expecting something else? What do you see in this painting? It is a detail of the invitation we used for my older son’s bar-mitzvah in 2007.
If you don’t know the story (or can only guess the stripes), here’s a link to the parsha.

How does one depict an angel? How does one depict the earth, the sky, the ladder? I skipped putting the main subject, Jacob, in the painting. Maybe next time. If I were to depict Jacob, he might look like this man.
Do you have a favorite illustrated book or illustrator? Please leave the name in the comments. Thanks!
What do you see in my daughter’s drawing? I can only guess myself. I will consult with her by Monday to find out what she was trying to depict. Have fun with this.
Welcome back to another round of What Do You See? Here is a drawing my daughter did on Thursday, and with her permission, I ask you, what’s in the drawing?
Have fun with this.
For a short time only, one can see my pumpkin on the children’s page of the Highland Park Public Library.
