A friend of mine suggested that I do a drawing/painting of chihuahuas pulling a sled run by a guy wearing a sombrero and a serape. I decided to paint a sled pulled by a variety of little dogs - Pomerainians, Yorkies, corgis, MinPins, and chihuahuas - while a group of huskies, Malamutes, and other sled dogs look in horror and with pity.

For those who don't get it, google USSR Premier Nikita Khrushchev's "We will bury you" speech in 1956. And, no, he wasn't threatening to bomb the USA and its allies...

I did this small watercolor not long after an acquaintance passed away suddenly. As he had some disabilties caused by a stroke when he was 14, I gave him rides to church, luncheons, and local concerts. When I was unable to contact him five days after my last contact with him, I asked the local police to do a “wellness check”. I was stunned when I received a call from a policewoman informing me that this man had “expired” due to what appeared to be “natural causes”. He was 41.

I started this watercolor with only the women in mind. Then I added the “wall of disapproval”. As for that guy behind the women, I’m not sure - an old teacher from high school perhaps?

The CPAP that I received freaks out my dog. I don’t know if it’s the mask or the noise or both.

Another small watercolor; this came out looking like a portrait by Colombian artist, Fernando Botero.

My latest watercolor didn’t come out as I initially thought. I’ll call it “Hobbit Realtor”.

At least I have someone who’s glad to see me even if it’s just because she needs to go out.

Numbers are names: Interstates have numbers - I-57, I-80, I-55. There’s a street in Illinois known as IL-50 until you get north of Monee when it becomes Cicero Avenue. The initial inspiration for U2's hit, "Where the Streets Have No Names" supposedly came from their visit to the town of Milton Keynes where the streets were numbered instead of named. The band got lost while trying to get to the MK Bowl. Guess they had trouble following the numbers - innumeracy, perhaps?
