Happy Turtle Day!
We recently saw a few of our reptilian friends at the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium in Dubuque, Iowa.
This one in particular seemed glad to see us.
Such a nice smile!
.
These ones were lazing about on the boat launch railings. I’m guessing they were trying to get somebody to take them out on the big boats. Turtles love yachting.
.
.
These ones were having a spa day complete with mud baths and natural moss scrubs.
.
.
This one appears to be stuck.
His friend seemed to find that amusing. Turtles are like that.
.
This is a green sea turtle who was rescued. The blue bean bag thing is a weight pack/buoyancy device which helps her swim. She was hit by a boat and her back flippers are partially paralyzed.
.
This is an octopus.
.
This is a quickie sketch of a house in town. 4×6 inches.
.
This an acrylic painting of a mason jar from a lesson in the book “50 Small Paintings” by Mark Daniel Nelson, a great book for everyone from beginners to professional and all in between. 4×6 inches.
.
This is an acrylic of a farm near my house. 4×6 inches.
.
This is Sammy playing Frisbee.
.
This is the moon.
Because it’s time to say Good Night.
See you soon.

Squirrel!
There once was a cheeky squirrel
who was driving my poor dog mad
.
He mocked and he laughed and he chortled
Oh! He was such a cad.
.
He used diabolic acrobatics
To show me his tummy bare
Hanging about on the feeder
He masticated without a care.
.
And yet he is saved from my revenge
By a fact of no dispute
Thief and bandit he may be
But aw look, he’s just so cute!
.

Ode to a Turkey
There is a turkey in my yard
I don’t know what he wants
.
He struts to and fro
And yells oh such nasty taunts
.
He waggles his wattles
And snoozles his snood
.
And he blocked the driveway
Cause he’s in a fowl mood
.
But I will not let him
Get to me
.
For instead I have painted
A watercolor tree.
.
The End
.

From Heron in…
I surely will know
That sometimes herons stay
Even where there is snow!
.
.
.
.
.
.
Strange but cool.
Please excuse the fuzziness, I was hiding, albeit badly, behind some reeds.
Judging by the look on his face in the last photo, he found me.
What a glare!
So I guess I’m “It”.
Hide!

Christmas Trees, Peeping Toms and Dog Portraits
It’s that time of year again.
Dummy was so excited to decorate the tree, he forgot to put his pants on.
.
He thinks he’s sexy.
.
No wonder we have so many peeping Toms.
.
Yeah, I see you Tom Turkey.
That’s right, strut away all casual like.
But I know what you did..
.
Sampson, I can’t believe you let them get that close to the house.
What do you have to say for yourself?
.
Really!
And to think, I made a portrait, just for you.
Acrylic, 8×10
.
Don’t worry Zeus, I made you one too.
Acrylic, 8×10
.
What do you think of that, Zeus?
.
Sigh…
Here’s a couple little landscapes too. Acrylic, 3×5
.
Acrylic 3×5

First hummingbird!
There he is!
I’m serious there is a hummingbird in that apple tree.
.
.
Can’t see it? That’s okay.
Sometimes things are hiding in plain sight.
.
Can you see it?
.
Come a little closer…
Too close!! Too close!!
.
Phew. There he is.
.
.
Mmmm, that apple tree smelled delicious.
This painting was for a friend. It’s 11 x 14 inches, acrylic on canvas.
.
And this acrylic, 4×4 inches is of a friend’s dog.
He made this face right after he nipped at my husband.
He’s working on not nipping and this face made me laugh!
.
.
Have a good one!
I’ll be back soon…I’m writing poetry again.
Mwah ha ha ha!! (that’s my evil laugh!)
.
