I.C.E. OPERATION IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD!

I saw some ICE officers dragging a fellow out of his home very early one morning in my neighborhood. I managed to get one blurry photo. Enough to lead to a painting. Stay Tuned!

SURREPTITIOUS WEBSITE!!

Mr Frank Force took the exhibit of The Peoples Gallery at City Hall and made an online catalog. HTTPS://killedbyapixel.github.io/PeoplesGallery Here is my page https://killedbyapixel.github.io/PeoplesGallery/#artist/mj-hickerson

BEE, FISH AND FLOWERS

Painting a fish foreshortened from the front was more of challenge than expected. Flowers need and feed some lovely bugs! Postcards are great for practice, practice, practice.

POSTCARDS, HOME MADE

I cut some matboard scraps into the regulation size of the U. S. postoffice - 6" x 4.25". It is fun making postcards. Maybe I will do some political ones. Or, at least current events?

WITH A DRAGONFLY, BIRDS AND MEMORIES

One of my paintings in the TELL ME A STORY exhibit won second prize. There is money associated with this prize which I will get when the exhibit is over and I pick up the painting...If it doesn't sell...!! It's a winner!
On the figure's shoulder there is a red dragonfly AND the shell of a cicada. These two images together refer to someone who has passed on.

BUTTERFLIES, MEMORIES AND A LITTLE MUSIC

I am glad that these 3 paintings are going to Round Rock Penrose Theatre Gallery. They will be there until July in an exhibit called TELL ME A STORY.
