Birdbath

A young bluebird
bathing in the birdbath

squawking in delight.

I was at Community Thrift yesterday and found some great cookbooks. Among them was "The New Joys of Jell-O" from 1973. I was playing with some of the pictures and some old paintings of mine and came up with this Afrojello wedding. This sent me on a web search for mp3 files of The Lady Reed doing her character The Madam in the spoken word pieces called "The Sensuous Black Woman." I couldn't find them anywhere, so if you know of where to find them, holler.

I have an inordinate fondness for Patty Pravo. Don't ask why.
That's Betsy in the middle. I don't often do paintings of the cats, although I take many photos of them.

This painting is from around 2001. It was part of a series that included wood grain and things I found around the house or at the farmer's market. This flower came from a bush my father gave me. It and he died.
