2 Portraits & a Puppy

About four weeks ago I was driving up Highway 130 when I spotted a small batlike creature running down the middle of the road. Sensing danger I pulled over, crouched down and called to it. It came crawling as fast as it could on its spindly, weak and starved little bow-legs. This was the beginning of the Story of Bugsy.

Here for the first time on the internet are photos of this rare creature, a cross between a bat, a bug, and a small Doberman Pincer, hence the name Bugsy.

Here is a photo of our Christmas bamboo branch, laden with my hand-painted ornaments.

Here also are photos of my recent portraits. One is of my glamorous computer lady, Dawn Hurwitz. The other is of my neighbor Doug.
