Three Birds. $300.

Here’s “Three Birds.” Having dipped my toes into some representational waters, I feel good about this one. I love my clicker press. See that perfect full moon in a gray nighttime sky? I couldn’t have achieved it without this new piece of equipment. Makes me go “ahhhhhhhh…………… ”   ❤ 14″x14.5″

Is it Bambi? Could be. At any rate, this cover figures prominently in my “Secretarial Pool” piece currently inContinue reading “RDCB Cover of the Week for 04.11.2016”
