The folks here seem to enjoy my art, and I really had fun putting it all together. Move over, Foghorn Leghorn! (This is actually a metal sculpture, about 18” tall, that rides on the lady’s walker) Occasionally seen strutting around on a walking device in the Casa Dining Facility. This pet cockatoo can be seen making the rounds of residential shoulders, pecking at earrings and hearing aids, and occasionally flying high in spite of the best efforts of the Wing Clippers! These majesties soar above us and float in the cove below us, masters of aerial serenity and Olympic diving and fishing skills. Seagulls decorate the patio and rooftops with their own brand of graffiti… The latest discouraging devices seem to be working: wires strung across the patio at just the width of their wingspread! Which of course Mic (a particularly loud and chatty gull that one resident named Mic) finds immensely annoying. When a sunbeam strikes their feathers, irridescent colors take our breath away!
#KERRY GRAFFITTI IN MAGIC FLOWERS ZIP#
We see these jet-propelled flyers as they zip from blossom to blossom, and occasionally engage in aerial battles with any other bird silly enough to fly past our balconies. This fella resides just outside the southeast door from the patio to the upper lounge, a gorgeous example of the original Casa tile art from the 1920’s. The back cover explains where residents can find the models posing for the “portraits”: I volunteered to do some art for the cover of our bi-monthly resident’s newsletter here at Casa de Manana, and that’s the result.
Cover art for the Casa de Manana newsletter by yours truly
