Moose Bathing...in Fundy Bay


Based on an actual sighting in St.Martins harbor in September, 2007. This started with all the intentions of being a loose, free depiction with just lines of reckless ambiguity and my nerve went out with the tide. Reverted to whatever dictates my little grey cells are comfortable with, and am not totally disappointed with the results. Maybe not too far in the future, my lines will find release from the constraint of severe dotalism.

Woe is the lack chutzpa



Have been stuck in this arena of me being the cowering christian to the lion of intimidation patroling my "artistic" impulses. No enthusiasm equals dreck, as can be witnessed by this latest representation I call "reflectons". ( doesn't even deserve a capital R). Need to let the ink show up in a way that excites me. Kinda happened in the sail patterns of the CuttySark. Interesting story about why the figurehead holds a horsetail. Look it up in Robert Burns "Tam O'Shanter".
