“Safety Last!”

10x10” clock, acrylic on MDF

My previous handmade clock was practice for this one! I haven’t seen many Harold Lloyd films, but I feel a connection to him since we share a birthday.

It was difficult to engineer this. I drilled a hole in the hand and he is hanging down from a short piece of string. He sometimes sticks out to the side instead of dangling down when the hand moves slowly vs winding it here. Open to suggestions.

Fur is faux pas!

Spring is a time for wildlife! 

In 2000 Great Britain introduced a ban on par-force hunting. This national sport that was part of the tradition was questioned for ethical reasons. We usually do not question the cultural assumptions in which we live. But this example shows that you can follow reality and question your authority for success. There is only one country in the world that has introduced a total ban on hunting - Costa Rica. This is a place of extraordinary biodiversity. This is real wealth. In the long run, there can be no business that will not respect those values. Spring is a time of transformation and change. Fur is unfashionable!

So I’m also inspired to paint wildlife.
