Isaac 2012

Windy before the rains begin.

Dazzling sun. Rolling water.

The little bronze faun

has been way under water in Wilma

but never budges.

Quiet Key West.

Famous Duval Street

...as an elephant's ball?

We are watching

TS Isaac.

We live by the 2AM Monday point,

when the storm should just be hurricane strength.

Our living room is full of outdoor furniture

and the gallery is buttoned up tonight.

A forced mini-vacation.

Tulip's gettin' Crafty!

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY:

"teacher"

is the word.

She has absorbed all sorts of knowledge,

in a MONTY Python sort of way.

She presents it to her students

in an entertaining and engaging way.

An elegant pair of cormorants 

have distinctive silhouettes.

Little fisher...

Our busy fisherman

sits on the little lamp by the water.

Bats again...

I miss the bats that first patrolled our yard

and kept check on the mosquito population.

After their eviction there are new predators: swarms of little dragonflies.

Very dainty and busy, they in turn are a food source for acrobatic

swallows that pass too

close to the windshield as we drive on Sugarloaf.

Illustration Friday's

word-o-the-week is

"FREEZE."

'Couldn't resist a quick, past tense

pun in Corel Painter.

"HI"

Unwrapping frames from

FLORIDA FRAMES.

This one greeted me...

I'M

on a Brit' jag now.

We're watching older PBS

docu-dramas and

travelogs of great English houses.

I've been playing with glass enamels

and decided to make up

some architectural forms

on Wedgewood blue backgrounds.

I painted 8 of them....

The enamel lines are thick.

You don't notice the quality by the time the 

(BIG) glasses are drained.

The flower form goes with

some antique plates, also English,

which are painted with fine designs.

They must have used mouse whiskers!

New bat....

Won't be using this in B.'s book

but fun to draw.
