RED HOT MAMA

The little toucan flying by,
A bowl of sweets she did spy.

Red hot candies with a zest,
A perfect place to make her nest.

I set up a still life as inspiration for these paintings. The bowl, which was the lid to an old hand made ceramic cookie jar, sits by my easel, filled with red hot candies. It would make a perfect nest for the little toucan, once belonging to my mother.Thus, the name for the series.
“RED HOT MAMA"

The five paintings in this series make up a whimsical narrative. I hope you will get a kick out of following along on her adventures as they unfold through the week. I decided to brake up the poem so as not to give away the story. I will print the entire poem on Friday.
