One Bad Squirrel

I dream of a world where all animals live in peace…with each other. Crazy? It could happen!

I thought it did for a while when I video recorded sparrows, mourning doves, and a squirrel sitting together eating in peace, All was well in animal kingdom – until, one bad squirrel came along! Now, I assumed all squirrels were evil but when I looked out the window and watched one eat with the birds I had hope. Then again, there’s always a bad apple not far from the tree! In the last few seconds, a second crazed demented squirrel disrupted animal utopia and caused havoc on the kingdom chasing all birds and his squirrel friend! Watch closely and you can see Stella, the female downy woodpecker, visit before she fled the eminent doom.

Here is my sketch of that frightful moment:

One day fur and feathers will live in peace. I just know it.

Save the Date!

LaGrange Art Gallery

Come out for a fun night of art, music and food! Think you can’t afford fine art? Think again! Each member of the gallery was allowed one large painting and four minis. The mini paintings cannot be more that $125. Not only that but there are a ton of “supper minis”, now everybody can afford fine art!

Here are the paintings I submitted:

You can’t tell the size from the pictures but the first four are in 8×10 frames, but the last one is very large about 18×24. I have a real hard time taking pictures of paintings once they are framed, either I get a big flash spot on the glass or if I don’t use a flash you can totaly see my reflection! Ugg!
