"Setting the Stage" This was to be, and may still become, part of a series using the "theater of life" as the take-off point.... after some thought, think will revise this and add a bluebird on the handle, giving it a point of color to otherwise starkness... there is to be another work, of a well, theme/titled "Backdrop", as well as one with several chicks coming around from behind a rock, theme/titled "Entrancing"..... and a final one with a cat slipping into the birdbath, whth the birds flying off into the sky, theme/titled "Exiting"..... lighthearted, whimsical even, these would nonetheless display a joy of life and the positive, even if in minutae....
