ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Mytyl: Oh Daddy, I don't want you to go. Daddy Tyl: I have to go, darling. Mytyl: Why do they have to have war? What makes war, anyway? Daddy Tyl: The same things that make trouble everywhere. Greed. Selfishness. Those who aren't content with what they have. Mytyl: But you're not like that, Daddy. Why should you have to go? Daddy Tyl: That's what's wrong about it, Mytyl. You can't be unhappy inside yourself without making others unhappy, too. from 'The Blue Bird' (1940) Starring The Little 'Susannah of the Mounties' Princess ('Don't wear a long face, it's never in style! Be optimistic and smile!'), Major 'Beaky' Giles Lacy ("You may be right, Holmes... I hope you are."), Lucie 'Miss Lu' Dreyfus ("You have the blood of the Hidalgos in your veins! Keep it cool, my girl, or I'll whisk you off into a convent!"), Marmee 'Spaghetti' March ("I'd try to control it. Particularly, in your business."), Jesse James Jr. (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington), Cab 'Drunk' Driver ("Ain't you goin' back, Abe?" -- "No, I think I might go on a piece... maybe to the top of that hill."), Jimmy 'Football player' McMahon ("He says he talks with God at night. But God doesn't tell people to kill one another, does He, Miss? He's a - he's a good man in a lot of ways."), Mrs. 'Woman at Bar' Meade ("We're respectable churchgoing folk, we are." -- "And we ain't aimin' to turn no house of our'n into a Sodom and Gomorry."), Nurse 'Barlow' Peggotty ("I leave this in your hands, Ni-col-ass."), Sybil 'Abigail' Hardwick ("Oh, Lord Miss!"), and Kaa the 'Cheshire Cat' Snake ("The only reason for being a bee is to make honey. And the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it."). Written by Walter Bullock ("Ah-ah-ah, you naughty boy. You are what they call a fast-work man, yes?) & Ernest Pascal ("There are still some gaps to be filled in, but all in all, things are becoming a little clearer."). Directed by Walter Lang ("Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera."). Based upon the play by Maurice Maeterlinck.

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
