BACK FROM HIBERNATION

I've been away from the blog for 2 weeks...and I was close to pulling my hair out (And I don't have any to spare). But YIPPEE-HI-YAY, I do think that things are kinda coming together for a semi reasonable and organized existence. I have opened a gallery, studio and gift shop in Burnet, Texas. I'll have pictures and details on the next blog. Best of all. I have a great place to work and blog with excellent and continuous Internet service. I was so limited to access before now, that I seriously neglected (and missed) blog visiting. Now, I'll be making the rounds frequently. And Pokey and TacoBelle approve of the situation.

First, Windows to the Words had few contributors last month, but the submissions that did come in were very nice. Below is my effort, titled
"Two's Company...Three's Painful"

Next, I've been working on an patio mural, a trip-tych, and some smaller works like the one below...

I did manage to get my place decorated, tho....that's me on the right.


My neighbors weren't so fortunate with their decorations...they had to take them down. See below....



This fake "eave-dropper" caused 3 accidents and 2 dozen frantic calls to 911 before he was removed.

And the friendly policeman told this homeowner that he hadn't ever heard of the "Brussells Boy" fountain statue.
