I laugh, I love, I hope, I try, I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry.
And I know you do the same things too, so we're really not that different, me and you.

In this theater of man's life,
it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers-on.

O’Miss Linda…

April 14, 2009 · 4 Comments


Daff_odilew This post is for
my friend "Linda"
to honor the
appearance of her
"First Buttercup"
up north,
in CANADA!

Last year I painted
O'Miss Daff Odile
a bright sunny face,
and paired her
with Wilton Warbler.

And, once Daff
got together
with Warb
it has been
"daffy down dilly"
around here!

In fraganti…

April 13, 2009 · 12 Comments

Late one night last week I went into the studio,
and found the “Nopalitos” plant were huddled in a hush, hush!
Can you believe this ???

I wonder what they were up to? What do you think?

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.
