I can't believe it's been almost a month since I posted!  I have a little side project going that is taking away some of my studio time.  I'm redoing my kitchen.  Part of my design background is Interior Design, which I did for Walt Disney Imagineering for many years.  I'm in the midst of designing and ordering all the elements for the kitchen now.  Part of me absolutely dreads what's ahead, not having a kitchen for a period of time. However, I will be thrilled when it's done!

This is a small painting inspired by an unusual door bell I saw on my recent trip to Venice.  The tongue is what you press to make it ring!  Was tempted, but didn't try it.  I'm currently doing a larger painting featuring this guy.
