Pig Jester

Hear his bells jingle as he bounces in. The court fool dances, sings and tickles funny bones with his silly antics. His toothy grin is inspired by vintage folk art pumpkin Halloween pails. He is the second painting of the "Royal Critters" series.

Day of the Dead...

Yesterday a friend and I spent three hours walking and reading an old cemetery. The earliest death we found was 1711. This cemetery has a wide variety of gravestones, monuments and crypts.
