Meranda’s birthday present. I think everyone should have some stylized dahlias in their dwellings.

Happy Birthday to you, my sister. All I have to give to others are my thoughts and feelings. Our family dinner isn’t going to be for a week from what I’ve heard, so I thought better say “happy birthday” more early than late, than shuffled in the middle with the throng of well-wishers. I wish you the best this year and all others in the future. Feelings of home, childhood and our shared lives in the middle of the Pacific. Love, Kati.

I’m still reeling from Inception. The movie echoes themes I’ve been exploring in books and at night, dreams, identity and reality and creating a world. Rippling from the strange deja vu, I keep singing to myself Jason Webley lyrics, “I’m not your lover. I’m just a map you use to find her.”
Here’s what the inside of my mind might look like presently:
If I had more technical skill/patience, the “birdhearts” would have perfect tiny circular labyrinth-inserts.

As a product of my Art Nouveau readings and a lovely canoe trip through the arboretum…
Much better in person.

Have Yoks running on a rainbow, he said. 4×6, he said.
Thanks Dan. This is for you.

The goat portraits are of the first commission from my father. Hopefully not the last. A gift for my Dad’s lovely girlfriend Denise’s birthday. He said that they both cherished the paintings and will keep them forever. I love that.

full frontal portraits are hard. I’m not technically savvy enough for the symmetry of the human face.

The perimeters of the design the bag contest for Uwajimaya were a little bigger than I remember, so the panels didn’t meet the requirements. I photocopied the paintings and made a collage using modge podge paste for the first time. I am glad that I misunderstood the assignment as this seems up a notch on the interesting scale.
