Not the prettiest piece of art ever painted.
Found in an underpass, it remains haunting.
Hey mom! Can I go out and play?

Hosted by Dan Anton, the Fourth Annual Thursday Doors Writing Challenge began on May 1st. and runs the entire month of May.
You pick one of the submitted door photos, and write to it. I chose the image above, by Teagan R. Geneviene.
I’m not a writer, but Dan said he was open to whatever creative inspiration I came up with . I decided on a triple crown event.
One, make a Barbie Art Gown to go with Teagan’s image. Art Gowns are always made from textile trash, old clothes, curtains, NOS and anything headed for landfill. They are completely sewn by hand.
Two, photography – a fashion shoot of said Art Gown.
Three, writing. “Art Remembers Us”.
I came up with this phrase during an interview on a Tea, Toast and Trivia podcast. The host, Rebecca Budd asked me – Why is art important? I answered – Because “art remembers us”. As far as I know, it’s original.
Rebecca was Teagan’s guest for an interview recently. Click on the pic above, and go to the interview.
Should you like to take part in the challenge, or simply want to read one of the many fabulous entries, just click on the pic above!
Cheers & thank you’s to Dan for creating and hosting this fab event!
I’m getting a weird plug-in message when I use the classic editor.
Research said it’s related to my theme, or the classic editor.
So, I’m trying the block editor and it’s not happening.
Anyway, fell in love with the squirrel when I saw it, but the sun was bright and made annoying shadows on the art.
Figured while I’m in the blockhead, enjoying a learning curve, I might as well try a feature! I chose image compare.
The first one is full sun and shadows. The second one is 3 hours later. There was 1 thick cloud over the sun. I had about 5 minutes to shoot the squirrel.


Before the merciful cloud, I went back after about 2 hours and got this shadow.
All in all, squirrelly.

The stupid message:
Dedicated to Gigi.
Holly did a wonderful tribute to Freddie Mercury. I am honoured to have done the drawing.
Holly picked a wonderful song!
