Feeding the Birds - a Calavera

Just finished my latest Calavera scene, "Feeding the Birds".
I really liked working on this scene, I wanted to create that Abuelito (grandfather)  we all now who gets up early every morning, puts on his hat and goes for a long walk to the park, where he sits and feeds his friends the birds.  He also takes the loaf of pan Webers with him, and when Abuelita finds out there is no bread for her morning pan tostado, well maybe Abuelo won't get the second cup of coffee he asks for!

Somerset Studio Gallery Winter 2013

So happy to have my Edgar Allen Poe assemblage piece published in this Somerset Studio Gallery's Winter 2013 edition!  I love assemblage, it's so hands-on, working with each piece, it's kinda like a puzzle.  You don't know what it's really going to look like until the very end. 

With this piece I was so inspired by Somerset's call for "Poe Art", I've always loved Halloween and spookiness and this assemblage just sort of "happened".   This is my take on the evening when the Raven knocked at Poe's window, hence the title "Inspiration Knocks".
