Ms. Dow of the Davis Mountains,

I too like the girl with the scarf on her head. I did a couple like that last year.

As I look at it I wonder if it wouldn't be more powerful without the sleeve on her arm? To me it adds an unnecessary, and unexplained component to what could be a dynamite red green color balance.

My condolences regarding your rooster. I've also suffered a recent loss. I found Puffy, my pet blow fish, dead on the beach this weekend. I had brought him all the way from Tulsa. It was his dream to return to the sea (gulf). I suppose like myself, all those years in captivity had made him soft.
