The Rag-a-Muffin by L. Martel
This is a 5″ x 7″ oil on canvas board in its early stages. It is a classical “selfie” – “me” at the age of about 3 or 4 years. Working on such a small area makes it difficult to get the facial expression right. I’m eating a cookie and it’s probably my mother who took the photo so I look to be offering her some of my cookie. In the photo I have a little more of a lean so it really does look like I’m offering it to the person taking the photo.

Never More by swo8 Blues Jazz lyrics by Rajiv Chopra
Russia, China and Iran launched their first joint naval exercises in the Gulf of Oman, near the Strait of Hormuz, on Friday, December 27th., 2019. This comes after a US-led naval coalition including Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates launched their operation in November, 2019, to guarantee the safe supply of oil from that region. This does not sound good to me. So I’m posting the song, Never More, featuring the wonderful lyrics by Rajiv Chopra. 3:24 min.
