Dolly voter
She ponders
getting on her doll-face
placing her bonnet
just so
with a bow
and her finest
red shoes
comfortable of course
and oh,
where is that mask?
and she rummages
in her big pockets
for she
is ready
to stand
as long as it takes
to perform her
civic duty,

The Bassist
The Bassist The inspiration for this piece
took me on a time travel
listening to Mister Gene
performing in northwest DC
and thinking of the times
he stayed
at our home
first, adhering to a
strict diet
and some years later,
the palate expanded
to apple pie
and I can say for me
eating pie was a hit.The Bassist sketch in ink touched lightly with watercolor.

Mrs. Blum
Doesn’t everyone know a Mrs. Blum?
Perhaps a kindergarten teacher?
Perhaps a quirky lady in the neighborhood with sculptures on her lawn?
Perhaps a detective in a crime novel?
Perhaps a leading scientist on the forefront of breaking the Covid code?
Perhaps someone put together in delightfully unique ways?
Perhaps there is a Mrs. Blum in you?

Nancy sings
This well-known
high-energy
singer,
Nancy Heinz,
gets her
audience
onto the
dance floor
…where the
dance…
lasts the night.Originally planned
as a portrait in pencil,
an ink contour
appeared
on my paper,
then
whimsical
took over.
