Grackles and Other Nuisances


This late in the month, the assaults by the Global Warming Sheiks on their Flaming Oil Camels* don’t come as frequently as in July, Gaia Bless, but I’ve had other battles to fight, as I’ve had to deal with computer breakdowns great and small.
As always, things took interesting shapes.
The birds happened to be Brazilian Grackles (Gralha-de-nuca-azul, cyanocorax heilprini).
Being in a state of constant digital emergency or vigilance had me suffering quite vigilant nights too, and I sometimes found myself drawing oddities beyond my usual oeuvres.
But we are soon back to business as usual, come and see, do Come And See:
When Life gives you lemons, try to sell them!
I’ve also finished a very complex oil painting. I might get back to that next month; come and see, come and see.

One of the many things that I could paint, if I wanted to; don’t tempt me.
