Thanks for the comments, Don.  Tragedy/comedy are so close.  "Uncle Red" could have been named, "Holy*&%#, My Face is Falling."  There is alway a point where sad or funny; I cry at sad.  An artist from WV bought Uncle Red and Mystic Woman.

I just looked at your gallery; loved "Survived the Season." I live in hunting country and when I see deer in the backs of trucks; I take an alternate route.  There is a deer skull in one of my paintings; I found it at a thrift store and thought it should be honored.  And I noted that you quoted Shrek in your blog--one of my recent favorite movies. 

Keep painting.

Hello there,

  I think this was the first picture I ever put up of myself.  It sort of looks like I'm giving ya the finger! LOL! I just keep changing my picture for the fun of it. Karen 

hello!

    "Come to my Window" is someting I designed from a photograph I took of a broken window that was very colorful just as it was photographed, but, it needed something extra to punch it up and add some mystic this window...so, I played around in photoshop with it.  Even, though I plunked in my face several times...I knew that I would have to wipe that smile off my face to make it a worthy painting.  Just didn't find the time to paint it yet...so, I just posted it as a photograph.

One of these days, I'll paint it up.  Karen.

Hello,

  Thanks for the nice comment on, "Come To My Window."  I have to confess, it is a photograph I took and not a painting.  I was going to make a painting out of it..but...with my lack of time..I decided just to post the photograph instead.  Karen

Don--

Thanks so much for your wonderful and thoughtful comments on Mandarin Duck.  I wanted it to dance--ducks seem to be the kind of birds to do just that in a blur of abstraction :o).

Hi Don,
