There was a photograph of a man sitting at a drafting table, on a stool. I liked it so much I wanted to repaint it all in yellow. I thought the man was Modigliani. Later I learned he wasn't. His eyes are three different shades of yellow. Her nose is a jalapeno pepper.

Froggie speaks with a forked tongue. That's Y everYthing she saYs starts with a Y. The man is earnestly beseeching her advice. This is dog language, as opposed to egg language. I don't know what the words mean, but if he listens to her, he will be happy enough to do handstands. Otherwise, he is owl food. yo-bag YAM-BOG yippodog hie-ka-chole-lee? YAMULO-DING!

To prevent overcrowding, Vegetable Beach restricts admission to a different color of vegetable each day. The orange gained admittance on a technicality. "Hey, today is Orange Day, and I'm an orange". But the tangerine did not want to risk the worm police, after seeing what happened to the foolhardy apricot. Also notice the remnants of a grape.

Inspired by the painting "Twilight Confidences" by Cecelia Beaux, a truly great artist and one of my favorites. That work is an anomaly in her ouvre, just as this one is in mine. There are nineteen magical spots on earth, three in North America. They come and go. Right now this is one of them.

Stylized, stereotypical Chinese images, harmoniously arranged. The primary point was to have a red stripe next to a pink stripe. The world's skinniest dragon top right.

Eggs speak in couplets, like "gazimp/gazomp", and this painting has all known words of Egg Language. (also ka-trimp, ka-tromp, ka-plomp, kla-pomp, ga-rimp, ga-romp, gal-yamp, gla-vimp, and the singular gizzle-yomp) This painting was actually the palette for another painting.

As our Dad was passing away (just a few weeks before the Queen, almost the same age, and this is also in her honor), he reported seeing bright Light, and then one of my sisters had a series of intense visions from the Beyond over the next several nights, to her surprise. This is my depiction of what she described.

A reproduction of 4 Little Weirdos, on canvas and slightly larger. It has the Mouse Yam, which I discovered in Burlington NC on Mayday when I was helping a little old lady pick out sweet potatoes for her dinner.

The first title is from a dream. I don't know what it means. Upon awakening, I immediately started calling it by the second title. Teamer as in lemur, but temeur as in demure, or obscure. Much better than "cityscape", temeur invokes the Central European feeling of Washington DC that I wished to convey. The view from room 815 of the Hilton hotel on Mass Ave.

On the night of 10/3/2021 I was too obsessed with the phrase "me-oh-my-oh-moo cow" to fall or stay asleep. And five days later, I had a vivid dream of a trail with multicolored railings coming down a mountain. Hence this vision of a bus that has become a cow. On the back of each seat is a pig-shaped steering wheel that goes oink when you press it.

I have a massive old gnarled fig tree that supports every last bee in a 2 mile radius. Come early August, they swarm in a feeding frenzy in my back yard, devouring figs with a ravenous humming sound. This painting also honors President Zelensky of Ukraine with a bright blue sky and intensely yellow sun(flower).

5 lovely women and a fish, all very happy. This is type 2a painting, not a water painting! The fish is out of water and does not even have legs. Top left – this beautiful young woman is Alicia Blum Top center – the same! Also (a different) Alicia Blum Top right – this is Sheinelle Jones the great newscaster Bottom left – continuing my fascination with Edith Galt, this is a portrait of Woodrow Wilson's wife when she was First Lady. And, as you know, she was the actual functioning President of the United States when Wilson was bedridden in a drooling stupor after a stroke for a year. Bottom center – I don't know! I initially thought she was Christine Cruz, but now think I was mistaken. Bottom right – this smiling little fishie is an Opah fish from the Oregon coast.
