patience is not a virtue, but it helps when you are trying to sort out names, rather than actions.

The focal division in the stamp is a painter's trick:

you can have no recession, or perspective into the background--as in cartoons;

you can have layered, Medieval Icon backgrounds with different sizes to the figures, but no linear connection;

you can have a standard, Renaissance recession into the background with a receding line

OR..you can fool around with all sorts of variations.

Here I have a perspective line that splits, carrying the eye in two directions; one goes off to the goat, which blocks the eye to the left; the other carries off to the right, perhaps to the big house, but then

it doesn't really exit the stamp. Whatever the eye does, I have a blocking, green hedge to keep the story in the foreground. The two roads make part of a triangle, and the movement is further emphasized by the horn of the goat curving back into the center, as well as the red roof lines on a horizontal. Building all that took quite a while.

He is still hopeful.

Green party in the US? Voting laws favor generalist candidates, so the Green Party would be the eco-friendly politicians. The trouble is that...any could claim to be eco-friendly. In politics you have to be very patient.

I do not believe there are any Demeter farms thus registered in this area. However, bio-farming, and organic produce labels are growing. What that means is more of my got-your-goat stamp.

wow. alienated. well, not from their standpoint? nature can be very rough out here in West Texas. I have a protected-from-all-that-rough-nature stamp coming tomorrow.

There are several kinds of cucumber: with peel okay, and better without. Also little cucumber for pickling. That's a lot of salt and sour for me. Tomatoes top the list of sprayed foods..in the USA? In the world? Better to grow them yourself, upside down in a hydroponic?

I don't know much about the success of Kansas farms, but it seems that they prosper. Here in Texas there are quite a few Exotic Game Hunting Ranches..uh..just a few miles out of town.

That was the point of the stamp: agri-business: cheesy business personalities.

Here's a reference for a nice goat farm in Kansas:

I choose the states for many reasons, sometimes because there's no more room for a different name. Kansas is an agri-business state, and goats, along with emus &cetera exotica are now a good business.
