During the painting of 'Tortoise Man' a parrot popped up from a little pool of potent mud. He has led me on an exploration of parrots. When I get this far I can't resist finding out what the animal I have discovered/uncovered through layers of paint might really look like. I love this adventure stage although my inner critic screams constantly for photorealistic perfection. I am beginning to appreciate the critic and to allow the inner voice to to help rather than sabotage my efforts. It leads to lots of learning!

They say you can easily tell what maybe is your prescribed duty because it's going to keep reappearing in front of you from time to time. I used to think I should be a salesman but clearly I wasn't very successful there. There had been a time when I want so bad to sing but it seems no one is interested in me. It's not even because I am not good at what I do. It seems people are more interested in things that totally had nothing to do with how good you are with what you are doing.
