BED OF THE LIVING DEAD

Ever begin a figure drawing only to ruin it by screwing up the face?  Voila! Go horror and make a zombie!  Then all those flaws are gone and you've got yourself a hot zombie.

FREEWAY PARK MAZE

  Behind the convention center a concrete walkway meanders about beside a water feature.  A nice place to sit, especially when its 85 degrees out.

PEA PATCH ON OLIVE

Next to Starbucks on Olive on Broadway is a nice patch of space devoted to growing things much  more interesting and far more beautiful than another development of crappy overpriced apartments.

Showing it in stages of progress . . .and completed!

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THANKSGIVING DINNER LAST YEAR . . .

A year ago, Thanksgiving sucked.
It rotted worse than an entire raw chicken left in a closet for a month.
Since anything feet related was also a downer (I didn't have any) my mind of course went to the dark side as usual.
I gave rise to Alan the Amputurkey!
I ask you -- who will make a hit on the red carpet THIS year when I wear Alan on a new T-Shirt for shopping, eating, and all things Thanksgiving?
THIS GUY!

CAL ANDERSON PARK BEACH

Seattle and sun . . . two words rarely used together in the same sentence.   Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill also serves as a lovely beach.

ALMOST SPRINGTIME

During the tail-end of my long hospital stay, spring was around the corner and the tulip tree in the courtyard was just budding.

THE RED DOOR, REVISITED

 No Premature Coloration 

A couple postings down and over a year ago, The Red Door was completed but I failed to update it with an actual finished painting.

So, here it is . . . the lush greenery reflected in the pool of Cal Anderson Park on Capital Hill.   Seated behind Seattle Central Community College, the top floors of downtown towers glint  in the midday sun.

I remember what a perfect day it was; I spent many hours well-removed from the heaviness that lodged deep within my mind at that time.

Premature Cloration

Glad I had the chance to finish it!
