Sketchbook


Sometimes when I'm reading, a sentence will
generate an image in my mind. Other times,
I come across an image and a sentence pops
into my head!

It happened the latter way, when I
was flipping through a book of bird illustrations.
I loved this wild-eyed bird looking down her beak.
But I thought it would be much more amusing if
I performed a little surgery and transplanted the
little dearie's head to a classical lady's body. Now
I can just see some curtains that need to go with
this portrait. And who knows what else? Stay tuned.
I never know where I'm going 'til I get there. That's
the fun of collage.
