Past Murray McMurray front cover questions

[EweSheep]

I remember seeing a front cover of a young woman with an apron (looking like Little House on the Prairie) with her buff chickens around her. Can anyone look up the artist name and see if there is any posters available of that painting?

I would love to have that for my kitchen!

I only have the new catalog... sorry (looked in the gift section and didn't see that description, so ? )

I think the front cover I remember is probably 2005 or so.....anyone that kept their old catalogs would be able to find it easily.

Ewe, you've probably already checked here:

I don't see one like you described, but...

Perhaps you can email McMurray and ask about it?

I can ask McMurray about it but if anyone has an old issue of Mcmurray catalogs, I am sure you know what it was LOL! I love their paintings on front covers.

Got the reply from Eileen from McMurray!

Here it is!

I love it but not paying for that kind of price! Wished there is a poster out there somewhere! I would keep on looking!

I know how you feel. I once searched for the cover that had "The Brave One" on it. It was the one with the little white rooster crossing the creek, with all the other chickens watching him. Found it, but wouldn't or couldn't pay what they were asking for it.

I remember that one! It was beautiful!

I liked this one so much, I saved it to my computer

I think it is from MM.
