Unicorn Lamb

Unicorn
watercolor on paper
22" x 30"

A friend had a dream last week wherein lambs and rabbits, myself and a few other folks were involved. Inspired, I set out to paint a lamb but she didn't want to be a lamb. She wanted instead to be a unicorn. This is the outcome thus far. I believe she's still in process.

The Kitchen Sink

I painted my kitchen this week. Finally after 5 years of living in this house, this wonderful house, the kitchen is orange. And the plants and treasures (art, weird bits of stuff and my skeleton finger puppet) in my kitchen look like they belong here.

I found the little skeleton puppet and the bottle it is resting on out in the dirt in the woods. Also found were a witch, vampire and a pumpkin head. Those guys are keeping the plants in the green house company.

Plants are sentient. They talk to each other and form alliances. Also, they clean the air. OSHA states that for a 2300 square foot office or living space the average number of house plants needed to clean the air is 16. In my kitchen alone, there are 15 plants. My studio space holds 12 and these act as excellent models.
