I have a few trays to feed the birds and I also toss food for any animal across the yards. Squirrels eat wherever they please!

SDED-Why, 2022
Acrylic on shaped canvas and basswood strips and letters over plywood
24 x 20 x 1 in (61 x 51 x 2.5 cm)
It all started with another fontalumi gesture in search for the elusive (theoretical) 2.5 dimension (and a little experiment writing with a custom-made clear leveling gel pen). The image almost chose itself for being such a powerful symbol of both human ingenuity and destruction. Working with such a cogent image triggered the rest of the puzzle tiles to fall comfortably in place, awakening thoughts common to people beyond the RAM cycle of a normal, being-alive day.
When exposed to symbols in our lives feelings start pouring, moving us in different directions according to an unwritten rule, known only to the mysterious universe onward since the Big Bang. Not before long, proving Van Gogh's belief that “paintings have a life of their own...” all the elements to construct SDED-Why piece were mixing in the pot, ready to make the soup. A Stuart Semple black 3.0 on black, and a recurring red-magenta duo appear to take over yet another painting making my head spin from the question: where is all this coming from? Maybe, if I go under hypnosis the answer will show its invisible truth...

A hapless and naïve bird watcher inadvertently disturbs an egret. The bird watcher with his “Bird Guide to the Inter-coastal Waterways’ book and binoculars, didn’t heed the sign to be careful around the estuaries as some birds get a little perturbed when humans come tromping in, disrespecting the animals peace and quiet. Some humans are just downright rude!
This particular egret has decided to provide the birder a view of the inter-coastal waterways that wasn’t in the guidebook.
The sculpture is from fabric, cut and formed as feathers, neck and wings are from different twines, legs and feet of sculpted copper, bird watcher hand made body and clothes. Bird is standing across driftwood adorned with real marsh grasses and shells. This was another Carolina Mixed Media Art Guild Challenge for 2010.

This Spider Gerbera daisy jumped out at me from a bouquet I bought at a local farmer's market.  The color was so vibrant it reminded me of an explosion, and so I used a creative technique to transform the original photo to show that.
