Above: "Milking Time"

"Milking Time" was another early Clementine painting that was shown in the Saturday Gallery Exhibition. When Whitfield Jack Jr.'s brother, who owns the painting, asked Clementine why the cow had only three legs, she gave him a perfectly good reason: She said that the milking stool only needed three legs to stand up.

Right: Window shade painting, also owned by Mr. Jack's brother.
