C'EST PAS FACILE D'ÊTRE VERT
(IT AIN'T EASY BEING GREEN.)*
Standing at the cross-roads
Of the Six Ways,
The withered moor! ~Issa

(The Six Ways are the six conditions of sentient life,
hell, that of the hungry ghosts, animals, nature spirits,
human beings, gods.)

I Spy......

Tangeriene Queen and Bubble Snails on the Pond-in-Dreams

Hid,hide, hidden...

Night deepens,
And sleep in the villages;
Sounds of falling water.
~Buson

I've had the flu and so has my computer. We've both
been really tired and crashing about. I got a new
power supply for Mr. Computer today, so he's
cool and much happier. I'm starting to feel better
too, so I'm going to try to get emails answered and
something posted here....... sorry I'm so behind
with everyone, I haven't forgotten you!

Here is Toby, he's been asleep in a little Spanish
leather box every since I made him. A few days ago,
by chance, I found someone who is a professional
costume designer and she may be interested in
making him more that just a head. I'm working
hard to tempt her! Toby wants out of the box!

I don't know anything about painting seascapes(Kansas)
......but I thought it would be fun to try a fast one.
That just goes to show what do I know! Ok, it was a
little bit fun, but mostly, I feel like I would have to do a
couple of hundred of these before I figured out anything
about beaches and water... better luck next time!
