The other morning my chair was occupied by the night watchman so I had to set up operation on the floor. No problem. It gave me an opportunity to spread out and admire a recent package from a friend enticing me to show my new work in Paris. I'm so "there" but in reality am actually still here and not quite ready. So I work on in my sketchbooks and stories and build a foundation, painting by painting and word by word, dummy by dummy.
The predominant story theme involves a pair of birds who contend with a bear that winds its way through their lives. Today, they will turn the tables and pester the creature until he gives them a ride on his back. Take that Mr. Bear! You're not so scary and we think you're kind of cute … and even cuddly!
