Angel Dogwood

"Angel Dogwood" (detail); 12"x 9", pencils on bristol, January 18, 2009.

The story that goes with this sketch is peculiarly familiar:

Things do not look the way you see them, so you try to create

The Dogwood Fantasy, otherwise known as Angel Dogwood.

Mr. Frog Moves in

New garden statue adorns my garden, but I chose not to

reveal Mr. Frog's image. Instead, I present :

the "January 09 Violets".

In addition to this information, there comes a reheated plan

to start drawing the flowering Dogwood ( flower of Tokyo).

I am not volunteering any other facts of life in progress,

oh... maybe with the exception of fleas being persistent on

staying in our house.
