Sweetie and I are still taking shifts in digging out his car (mine is a lost cause, sitting in a very slanted driveway covered in snow and with a dead battery). We limit ourselves to 1/2 hour shifts so we don’t injure ourselves. We still have about an hour or more to go.
But after the shoveling yesterday I hadn’t started feeling much pain in my back (yet!) so went down to my little art room to clear my head and thought I’d try to rework this bizarre sheep girl with gouache over the wool. So I did. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I guess I need to make something strange right now…and maybe all month.
I have a lovely amaryllis blooming and another that will be blooming in a week or so saying, “Why don’t you paint us?” But, like I said, need to make strange things right now. I don’t hate the little sheep girl.

I am rather enjoying your 'Strange Art' series, the connections that you make between images is intriguing. The Whistler portrait and dog was inspired, the cat lady made me giggle and the flamingo portrait - well I wondered to myself how you had not gotten there before as they reminded me so much of your caw girls and mermaids so much. Sometimes it is good to work through a new tangent and scratch an itch so to speak - you might not know now the 'why' but it will come in time. Best wishes.
I was looking through the old Caw Girls paintings the other day…maybe some of them will show up in this mix, too.
