Work Today

Today's effort is a bit different than my practice has been this year. 

In early December, I started a fun mandala with birds that has been undone since then.  I painted in the owl and added some 'soil' under the Blue-footed Booby today to complete it.  This has been done with acrylics, and some marks with black waterproof pen.

For me, I get such a sense of curiosity from the bird images.  In fact, when I look at it, I feel like I'm looking up from being in a dark cavern to an opening above me and they're looking down at me.  Does that come across to you?    

I think this is so whimsical and may even frame these friends to (continue to) watch over me while I work!  (Wouldn't this be fun if the frame were hung from a flat ceiling?)

At the time I created a blog, having a URL for a photo uploaded online was the only way to insert a photo in your profile or to create a custom header. There had been no problems for a long while. This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...
