The Muse has a peculiar sense of humor. It seems I am the last one to get the joke! On the way home from getting my hair cut last night, I stopped by this field to paint the cows in the late afternoon sunlight.

I made two small paintings. The first one 6″ x 8″, this second one 10″ x 20″. I just knew this was an insignificant painting ~ how could there possibly be anything hidden here?  ~ Think again!

This morning I woke from two very simple dreams. In the first, there is a rabbit underfoot. He is just sitting there in plain view. I recognize him as the same rabbit that I practically tripped over in the boatyard at Solomons Island. I think (still in the dream) that the rabbit may mean abundance. The other dream was simply: The St. Lawrence Seaway and Gallway.
