Goats, cows and chooks 1980 William Robinson Goats, cows and chooks 1980 Oil on canvas 91 x 101cm Acquired 1981. Judges Selection 1981Gold Coast Art Prize. Gold Coast City Art Gallery Collection Full screen In this vignette of life in the farmyard the dozy cows cluster in a corner, their bulbous bellies protruding above spindly legs that belie the swift kick they might deliver. Chickens, ducks and a regal rooster are interspersed throughout the bustling scene. A number of playful, and undoubtedly mischievous, goats cavort across the canvas; others rest like children that have played long and hard before collapsing into rest, yet still keep an eye on the proceedings.
