NO HYPOCRISY MATH
Hypocrisy Math was coming along nicely—and then—and then—and then it became too nauseating to continue. Maybe someday in future I hope to return if only for my own interest. Hypocrisy has such negative implications, but I do think as a rubric for understanding the world— in a more neutral, descriptive way—it can be extremely helpful. That’s where I was going with it. I’m posting this photo of my notes even though I risk looking like a bit of a crockpot because I want folks who so kindly took my survey to know that it wasn’t just hypothetical study of hypocrisy and your time was much appreciated.
Coming (sort of) soon: HYPOCRISY MATH
I have been working on a project titled HYPOCRISY MATH.

Fall 2023
Autumn Owl in Autumn tree
I love fall. But it sure seems like there’s less of it than there used to be. My fall movie recommendation is Hitchcock’s The Trouble with Harry (1955) which is as autumnal as it gets, plus the deadpaniest dialogue around, plus abstract expressionist painter character, plus abounding recognize-that-character-actor-from-other-TV-and-movies bingo opportunities, and lots of New England woods.

By the Light of the Silvery Mouse (Hansel and Gretel on the Way to Their New Hom
Hansel and Gretel are real tuxedo kittens that were found in the woods. They were adopted by the most appreciative human friends conceivable and if that is not a fairy tale ending what is. I’ve been wanting to paint these two for a long time but had whisker-anxiety (a concern that I could not capture magnificent whiskerage). It may not entirely have done it, but pretty happy.
The Mystery Sees the Burden
As spokesmodel and manager of The Mystery I’m here to announce the latest manifestation of sound words now exists outside of the ether.
Faux-Medieval Tale of the Red Unicorn, Tree, and Rabbits
This is I suppose a bit of an homage to that famous tapestry “The Unicorn Rests in the Garden” although with different elements. And colors. And perspective. And animals. Whatever! I have been more a narwhale than a unicorn gal but why I thought you had to pick a team I’m not sure. For sale for that unicorn-lover in your life. Message moi for details.
