IF • rambunctious!

December 12, 2008 · 23 Comments

Rambunctious-d1
The "Frogget" children choir
were nicely humming away,
at the social of Georgianna Day.

When the "goldfish" heard
this great wonderful classic,
they all joined in to the music.

The musical turned rambunctious!
and totally out of hand,

thus splashing and wetting
the whole "Frogget" band!

Rambunctious

original painting – private collection – Nashville, TN • "Day by Day"
• watercolor, wax, ricepaper and glazed! • 38"H x 70"W • © Lisa Rivas

The fish in the water are silent, the animals on the earth are noisy, the bird in the air are singing.
But man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the music of the air.

Rabindranath Tagore

Art Statement
