Clandestine Bird

I had to look up this definition... This bird is secretive and concealed.

Sangue ed Amore: "The Tragical History of the Indian Princess Spocawntwa"

'Donna Maddalena, formerly known as Princess Spocawntwa, tenderly cradles her lover, Governor Tom, who has been pierced through with an assegai by her father, the nefarious dwarf Chief Mulggthwly, as they sing the passionate trio, "Son morto con quest'assegai!"' (From the Act III finale to Alessandro Smith's 1897 opera "The Tragical History of the Indian Princess Spocawntwa.") ------------------------------------- -- Another installment in my series of opera spoofs, "Sangue ed Amore."

New Bird Ornaments

These ornaments are for sale at my Etsy shop, and also at the Barn Swallow Gallery in Virginia. A lovely hand-painted avian ornament to perch in your Christmas tree (and some backwards migration, depending on where you live). The ornaments are acrylic on wood, a quarter-inch-thick and 1.5-2.5 inches across. Sides and back are painted red so they stand out well from your evergreen. A perfect gift for bird lovers, art lovers, holiday lovers, and other miscellaneous lovers. If there is a favorite bird you'd particularly like that you don't see here yet, I'm delighted to fill requests via comments or email (and keep checking in, as there are more birds flocking in every day). Happy holidays!

Sangue ed Amore: "La serva celata"

From Luigi Pozzo's 1782 comedy, "La serva celata." The caption reads: "Act II Finale. Madame X, concealed behind the curtain, awaits the arrival of Sir Reginald that she may learn the fate of her nephew's military career. Sir Reginald, concealed behind the Japanese screen, awaits the arrival of Alison the maid, in order to secretly test her constancy. Alison the maid, concealed beneath the rug, awaits the arrival of her lover, Hyperion Ringwell, to learn whether he is faithful to her. Hyperion Ringwell, concealed within the armoire, awaits the arrival of Michaela, that he may observe her dealings with Francesco. Michaela, concealed in a secret compartment in the ceiling, awaits the arrival of Francesco, that she may overhear his amorous advances upon Alison the maid. Francesco, concealed within the chest, awaits the arrival of his aunt and lover, Madame X, to observe whether she keep her secret promise. Elliott the butler, concealed behind the arras, waits for everyone to leave so that he may get back to work." -- Another installment in my series of opera spoofs, "Sangue ed Amore."

These images were created for the Barn Swallow Gallery, which is representing my work. These should hopefully be available in their online store at some point. There will also be postcards, notecards and suchlike available in the future.
