April 22 Birds


There's a little bird
That somebody sends
Down to the earth
To live on the wind
Borne on the wind
And he sleeps
On the wind
This little bird
That somebody sends

He flies so high
Up in the sky
Out of reach
Of human eyes
And the only time
He touches the ground
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird dies.

March 10 Score one for the bird


One of my favorite brothers suggested a few ideas for paintings so I took one and ran with it, modifying with a twist of some twisted something.

February 18 Different Strokes


This is a great little painting. I loaded the buttery background on- one solid color but thick enough to drip. Then 30 strokes of black paint created the man, his dog and the bird. Very satisfying little painting.

February 10 Paper Cranes


Whenever Savannah and I go out to eat, she makes tiny paper cranes. She uses whatever paper is available: the paper napkin bands, place mats, napkins. She tucks her miniature flocks in with the creamers.

We went to Gene-O's tonight. She had her favorite, alfredo pasta with shrimp. I had a taco salad. She left three cranes in the creamer bowl.

When we got home, I had her make a larger one to use as my model. Inspired somewhat by the white birds of yesterday's painting, but more so by Savannah's little peace message to the world.
