16″ x 20″ – Acrylics [2011]

When I was almost two, I fractured my skull and spent two months in the hospital.  They made me wear a strait-jacket.  I dealt with it by singing and my favorite song was The Trolley Song:  “Clang, clang clang went the trolley!”  I love the spirit I had that made the best of the situation!

Clang!

This is a painting of some of my favorite things about New Orleans.  I was lucky enough to visit there five times pre-Katrina and think it is the most wonderful city in the United States!  A generous friend made this possible, and she is toasting with a Bloody Mary near the bottom of the painting.  My niece who loved the town, too, is shown behind a curtain, rounding a corner.  She died six years ago at the age of 28.  The goddess is wearing her Mardi Gras mask and sending blessings in the form of confetti over the town to prevent any more harm…..  I love New Orleans

I dreamed I saw a woman carrying bags of living koi, and she was naked except for flowered purple boots and a matching purple hat.  She was taking the fish home to live in her pond.

I dreamed I found a clownfish in my sink, wearing a clown costume.  It’s hat was on the counter, next to the sink.  It said, “Meep.”
