A Dip and Pirouette

A dip and a pirouette

A plié perhaps in jest

But whoever knew

My dog Stew

Could twirl and spin without a cue.

The Canines Are Up To Bat.

I woof, howl, and clap

I’m a Canine that’s up to bat

It’s the bottom of the inning

And we’re this close to winning…

Our rivals?!…. Oh!, they’re Cats!

Mighty Minis - Work In Progress

Just finished working on three pieces for Mighty Minis put together by The Creative Well in Virginia Beach. I’ve been doing these faces for awhile and I like them quite a bit. The show opens May 9th and will showcase 3 mini artworks from artists for $125 each. Pictured below are Grinnin’ 1, 2, and 3 (acrylics on wooden panels - work in progress photo).

The Rougarou

There are tales that tell of piercing eyes

That hide behind a foliage green

A gaze that can send a chill through spine

Quite a haunting scene 

Stay on these trails

Don’t you stray

A howl will warn you so…

The swamp conceals so many things

Be careful where you roam 

The moon sits high up in the sky

And the fog it settles low

The howl you hear 

Will make it clear

You’re way too far from home

Down & Out

Came across some old photos of me planning my downers. Faces that were full of embarrassment, judgment, and criticisms. Some awkwardness and some indifferent or fatigued. Bright and moody and quite aghast in their relation to one another.
