IF … Forward

We slipped past a sea of prying eyes and pressed onward.

This week's illo was thumbnailed
while concepting 'Disguise' last August.

It's been lying in wait for the perfect

IF prompt to come forward.

IF … Twirl

     ooooo … my new race bike arrived!
     Titanium frame, Shimano gears and assemblies, a nice Selle saddle.
     I can hardly wait to ride!

– sigh –

       Well.

       Buttercup surprised me with a 'modification' … a turbine boost to help with
       inclines and keep me cool. (I need something a bit stronger for the latter.)

IF … Prepare

Peet! Look! I think you're gonna like this …

… it's called a Tour de France. It's perfect for our summer holiday.
We'll bicycle through the country, explore cafés and nap in the sun ...
... only about 200 kilometers a day.

wa, wa, wah, wah, wah, wa, wa, wah, wah, wah, wa, wa,

wah, wah, wah, wa, wa, wah, wah, wah

Why the big fuss about weight reduction and endurance training?
You look fine in your bike shorts. We just need a new buggy.
And some brie.

IF … Grounded

To jump, one must first be fully grounded.

IF … Highlight

It's over.

Thirty days of non-stop performance.

Meeting and greeting adoring fans is truly wonderful, but honestly,

it can wear a mouse out!

To rejuvenate my spirit, I picked up a Mouse & Garden and headed straight for the salon. What a delight!

Well.
I shoulda paid closer attention to Poodle's big idea, but I was simply riveted to a juicy adventure story when she said something about pink tips.

Ta Da!

Buttercup's Big Fat Adventure
THE SHOW OPENS!

Today I hung my show with help from my wonderful friend, Eileen. There are 50 pieces on display, so it took us the better part of the day. Seeing all the art together, matted and framed, was very exciting. It looked so dressed up. This Saturday will be my first "Meet the Artist" event, which will coincide with a couple storytelling events for young children that are happening in the Children's Library. If you're in the area, stop by and have a look-see!
