So good seeing this child-like side of you, Kenneth Mills.
".... trying to make some sense, to articulate things, is hard to resist. I want to provoke the jolt as well as the laughter..."
You did both this morning in a delightful way and I thank you for including your commentary. I have known a few gossip trout in my life, but I have never seen such a classic depiction. I love that painting.
Grazie Grec. Astute favourite, buoyant donkey with a book and all the time in the world, on the back of a cardboard scrap. Did you recognise a certain child within?
What wonderful pictures, as ever! As a historian of the idea of monsters, this was especially fun to read. Here's hoping for a fall 2024 publication of my next book....
Child-like feels like the opposite of narrow-minded and rigid. Writing and painting get better if we are open to possibilities - here's to the inner child!
Love the works here Kenneth! The absurd is a rich vein for you—surprise, delight, touching our frailties and foibles, skewering truth
Sharp synthesis, precious reader. Honoured, thnx.

Gossip Trout... don't get *any* of us started...
Hopeful monsters, Ken. Hopeful monsters! Can't wait to kick this all-too-human form and assume a readerly-donkey repose in a motel pool..

Delighted you enjoy the images.
