| MRI Waiting Room, Gouache and Black China Marker on Arches, 18x12 |
Remember those May Pole dances? Going in circles and weaving in and out--that's what I did during May. I decided I must finish something so, on Thursday, I used gouache and a china marker, and painted this quickly from a photo taken in a waiting room during January (I accompanied a friend). I don't know who this is but I liked the newspaper and the cap. I sneaked a photo with my iPad and used it as a guide; I don't think anyone will recognize him (unless the foot cast is an identifier).

Then there was the snake... There is a crack in my walkway beside my front step. I haven't had it repaired because the skinks (blue-tailed lizards) live down there, and I like watching them. Maybe I should say they lived down there. My dog Willie had been sniffing the hole; then my husband asked, "Is that a lizard?" "Well, no." I put Willie in the house, sent my husband inside, and I sat on the porch for quite a while waiting with my camera.

Later, my neighbor called to say she had seen a snake in her house. Willie and I (SnakeBusters) visited but didn't find anything--it was only a black snake and I'm sure he's long gone.
