MONARCHS MIGRANT DANCE

Oh The composition is changing! Gorillas employed by ICE.

dancing with monarch butterflies. Those immigrant monarchs flying around and decorating the plants, skies and imaginations!

SKETCH FOR "I.C.E." IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

This is inspired by an early morning visit to my neighborhood by a contingent of ICE agents. They carried out a rather large man in his boxer shorts to their truck. I think I am going to go for a gorilla look for the ICE agents. Migrating monarch butterflies could add a touch of irony and contrast. I'm still working on the composition but ideas are hatching.

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!

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?

THE BUTTERFLIES ARE CONTINUING

After they rest and sometimes even exhibited, I suddenly see!! Oh then a brilliant continuation, improvement!
