AFTER THE RAIN

How great to have some rain . We could hear the thunder over Key West.
Happy Holidays to you from Sugarloaf.

This little Rooster...

LOOKS LIKE

a glossy, tin-glazed tile.

More to be done but the first drawing pleases me.

ROOSTER12

UNTITLED

rooster.

Oil on collage panel; 6 x 8 inches

Rooster11

I'll call it "LIGHT COVER"
as he hides behind a weed.
Oil on collage.

ROOSTER2

PROGRESS....

A YELLOW GLAZE

stippled 

and scraped to reveal the line drawing.

Then minute additions of colors with

teeny brushes.

Sore neck!

OOOSTER4

One more of the boys....
I used to have a vest that color; loden?

Rooster3

This is one of my favorites.
In this first stage it looked like
an old tile.
The glossy oils shine like ceramic.
It has changed a bit since this!

ROOSTER2

THIS IS
oil on collage panel;
the initial sketch design.
it's already changed  in texture and color.
Most of the panel is chrome yellow.

Get Happy...

YOU KNOW WHAT

makes me happy 

and makes time disappear?

PAINTING!

I'll be posting a

rooster series the next few days.

Glossy wet oils on collage.

In town....

Today is my day "off."

Laundry is spinning;

toast is toasting

and Tulip has had two walks in the bright

beautiful day.

In town,

in front of the studio

there's the commotion of

construction on 

Simonton.

The municipal archaeologists 

have unearthed

the old brick streets of Key West.

I am out of the dust

behind my studio door

at number 316.

Snowflakes and palm trees.
