Early Influence

My Blog looks so drab without any images, so I thought that I'd post a "Picture of the Day."

This image is the "River Otter Man" courtesy of the Smithsonian collection. I'd look up more about it's history to share with you, but I'm too lazy to do that right now. This image has been with me since I was very young-if you know my work, you'll see where this little guy has influenced me time and again.

He sure looks like a trickster to me. That pointing finger has intrigued me for the greater part of my life. As Mrs. Doyle, Father Ted's housekeeper (played by Pauline McLynn) said (while pushing tea sandwiches from the immense mound she had made) , "Go on, Go on, Go on, Go on, Go on , Go on, Go on."

Guess you had to be there.
