In the dream, David bought a packet of something like sea monkeys and threw them in an empty in-ground pool.  These huge, dangerous creatures grew and we had to hide the pets so the creatures wouldn't eat them.  This was one of the creatures.  Actually, it was longer than this, but I ran out of space on the paper.  acrylic on paper

Talented writer Leigh Giza has offered some of her lovely, short poetry which I've snatched for magnets.  Some are (and will be) hand painted, others matted on scanned pieces of my original art.  It was a pleasure having an arts and crafts day yesterday and we are both excited to present our offerings at Arts Alive !  More coming, so stay tuned!
