Little Boy Blue, Come Blow Your Horn

For Bob. Trumpet always makes me smile. I chose trumpet in fifth grade band as my instrument because I once heard my grandpa say that he always wished he had played trumpet instead of trombone, which he took up when arthritis forced him to give up violin.

Feliz Dia de los Muertos!

It's November 2nd. Happy Day of the Dead.

I've got a big Christmas show coming up in less than a month, and I should be working on holiday ornaments tonight, but this was calling to me much more strongly. I'll try to be Christmasy again tomorrow; A little Bing Crosby caroling in the background might help get me in the mood.

I can't find my good camera, which is starting to worry me. I had to take tonight's picture with my cell phone. Click on the picture to see the larger version to catch more of the detail of the painting.

Diameter of eye of peacock feather: 1" 

Not an Alabama Bird: Pink Flamingos

Everyone loves pink flamingos!

Length of feather: Hhmmm.....these are peacock tail feathers that I cut shorter, so the over-all length of the feather is no longer relevant. Perhaps for peacock feathers with eyes, I should give the diameter of the eye, thought to which point does one measure? Diameter of peacock eye: 1"(that's measuring the green circle side-to-side). I will have to do some research and see what standard measurement is used when cataloging peacock feathers. I'm sure that there is some sort of standard.

Everyone loves peackocks too!

Hats off to Larry

I've got a huge pile of peacock feathers on my dining room table that I'm about to dive into. That will start this evening or tomorrow. However, today I painted a picture OF peacock feathers on a feather from a goose.
