grandest gestures,un-noticed

some old beets from last spring--suggesting and gathering courage,















their flaws are fine.

SAW MILL HOLLOW--some ideas for the wine label
we ll see after round two and feedback

my petunias chose to be first to bloom. plus some bundles of sorrels which exhibit
the tiniest of plum colored blooms. never mow your lawn. turn it into
a flowery mead.-lovely days in between rainy trends.

A DAY OF DRAWING

Llorona malo

and reaching the limits of her ambition in the burning wreckage of Moscow.

I'm curious for curling hair--perhaps in some under spoken reason.
hope i get over it.

just realized the eyebrows!

"O mio babbino caro"

the recording is from the 80s
but she hits the high notes flawlessly.

Just say: I DO

just finished this one.
i need to stop drawing models.
these neon goddesses are far too fierce.

work in isolation

Herbert with a hair

Annie-may

here she is. oils 11X14in
........................
god is a middle aged woman, with planets for earrings
and international date-lines at the corners of her eyes.

shes thinking about remarriage to a guy she recently met,
and hasn't even asked out on a date.

ok to be perfectly honest-
hes never even spoken to her --he barely even knows she exists

ok, god is really shy, she doesn't like confrontation, shes not so young any more.
but, o god won't you just say hello.

but i love her very much.
I love the way she looks.and i just want her to be happy.
I wish i could talk some sense to her troubled head full of beautiful gray hairs.
