RANDOM POST ABOUT ANTHRAX

well, thanks to keith for fishing out the ORAL PATHOLOGY book out of the dumpster at the estate sale before we left for Marquette. we peeked at the book while waiting to get into the sale and in marquette. way more gruesome than a medical book. i found this syndrom. hypogonadism. sufferers tend to have low lobido and infertile. i think ann colter has a milder form. fingers crossed she can't breed.

MEDICINE CROW
well, since i returned with a native american, will do the rest in order.
this is Medicine Crow. a Crow indian, from the time-life books. i always admired him, so he was the first. this series started when we had to do 2? figure paintings outside of figure painting class. now, one of the other students, said that painting from a photo was inferior. of course i say, that to make a photo '2 dimensional' is harder than painting from a live body, and aren't you still looking at a body? eh, no biggie. the teacher liked the under paint color, which he said was the color of catlinite/pipestone. i intended it to be fleshtoned of a indian suntanned. and they liked how i did the deerskin. they liked his hand too. i am pleased with the colors. i started out with purples and roses in that range, but wasn't working.(only in feathers by face). i paint kinda oddly. 1st the face, bleeding outward. then the beads, and work outward til med crow was done and put in the background. for many years, this was at our family cottage. even tho married to a woman with indian blood, grandpa was kinda racist. but he liked it. my step monster would cover it with a towel when she and the pater were up at the cottage. told my aunt he gave her the heebie-jeebies. which makes me like him even more!

RANDOM EBAY POST-with a picture!

i found this years ago at a very cool but odd estate sale. lots of very old stuff. not much newer than 1960. very modest, probably a bachelor with mom's and dad's stuff. 1/2 price. $6. the ebay listing was no bids 1 minute to closing. oh well, relist. email says sold. probably $9.99, my opening bid. no, $23! 2 bids. 2 had been keeping an eye on it. it's a tourist bronze from the 20's. for Vista House, which i checked out on the internets maybe someday visit.
funny how i can remember some sales distinctly this one i do. it was a cool object. but must not hoard more!

basil and his chubby cheeks!




RANDOM NATURE POST-why you should keep cats inside

this morning i woke up hearing pansy were she rarely goes and shouldn't be. why i crammed that space with stuff. and then sybil does the same. what do they want? then i saw through my blinds. a female goldfinch on the porch railing which comes right next to my window. i think it was attracted to the stained glass 'window' i made for an art class. has some yellow in it. i put it against the screen until i raise the glass when summer actually hits.
