While creating this piece, a thought came into my mind that I think is a perfect title: "I CAN'T WATCH THIS ANYMORE".

See comments for more details about the meaning.

Mixed media painting. The viewer is inside a monster's mouth watching a red monster with a chef-like hat dressed in black.

Which annoyed me at first, but now it just keeps me in touch with her. I touched up the photo to hide the numbers to protect her privacy, but I like to rub my fingers over them and think of her. 1954 99k. It’s a keeper.

I cleaned and oiled and finally set this up to sew today. It sews like a dream!!
I bought this last year from a son cleaning out his mother’s house after she transitioned. You can tell it was a precious possession as she had carved her drivers license number into the shiny black surface.

I know that feeling well. I have a few of those myself, but trying to push myself. I’m getting old, it’s now or never.

View of the RenCen from the Riverwalk on a sparkling fall day. Can just barely see the new Gordie Howe Bridge way in the background past the Ambassador Bridge.
