We woke up today to a winter wonderland. All the trees, everything, heavy laden with a good, wet snow. So. Just had to do a morning photo shoot. Thea drove me around Taos and I got a lot of shots. Maybe even a couple of keepers. It was fun, anyway, seeing all the familiar subjects covered in snow. Snow is just one more good reminder that it’s time to be on the road again. I have to be in San Diego later in the month, and if I don’t want to be hurried, I guess I’d better hurry and leave! Might even catch a Kachina dance on the way. Tomorrow, the road!

Finally, some adventure. I went to the zoo! I parked in a nice, shady spot and started painting this great little Wakas. That’s Hopi, by the way, from the Spanish word vacas, meaning cattle.

When the painting was finished the zoo was closed. So much for adventure. There were other exciting things that happened during the day, though. Like my encounter with a dragon. The rest of that story is over on my other blog, where I post a daily photograph. If you haven’t already, and you can spare a minute or two, come on over to whenapaintersnaps.wordpress.com and have a look.

PUNCH Daily Painting #559

Punch and Judy

“In my opinion the street Punch is one of those extravagant reliefs from the realities of life which would lose its hold upon the people if it were made moral and instructive.
I regard it as quite harmless in its influence, and as an outrageous joke which no one in existence would think of regarding as an incentive to any kind of action or as a model for any kind of conduct.
It is possible, I think, that one secret source of pleasure very generally derived from this performance… is the satisfaction the spectator feels in the circumstances that likenesses of men and women can be so knocked about without any pain or suffering..”
[Charles Dickens (in a letter) 1848]
