Forgive me, all, for interrupting our on-topic flow to burble a bit about
something wonderful that just happened to me.
Cooper Burley, a member of our local iris club and an interesting
watercolorist, today presented me a portrait he's done - yes, of me - in
pastels and watercolors. It's matted. It's framed in gold. It has its own
hanger wire on the back.
I look very much like myself, down to the blue and white hair, the squinty
eyes and the maniac grin. He has me cackling over a pile of rhizomes,
bearded and one beardless - JERI, for some reason. I seem to be dressed for
Oktoberfest, and I'm tapping myself on the head with a blooming MTB. Behind
my head swirls a psychedelic sky. Very cheerful, one might even say ...
loud.
And they say naturalism is dead.
This is such an amusing turn of events. I'm an objet d'iris-art, y'all.
