Mutiny!!!

The cat photos that were published in "Winter Garden, Part 1" created unrest in the tranquil Province of MulticoloredPieces. Those animals left out are unhappy and have demands. As this is the New Tunisia where protests are no longer illegal, the animals are exercising their rights. The cats have been whining endlessly and went on strike, refusing to go catch undesireable rodents.

The dogs threatened to block the road with burning tires, stop all passers-by, and hijack any trucks of milk and bottled gas—they would pay for the merchandise, of course, because they are not theives. However, after an open meeting held in the barn (to which all animals were invited—even a few of the neighbor's cows showed up), they decided to stage a sit-in instead.

They maintain that they want equal representation because they are part of the garden landscape and threatened to call in the Press. 

Indeed, a TV station considered showing these events on the evening news. The pigeons, partridges, sparrows and swallows have been on Twitter. Rumors abound on Facebook. In addition, the animals insist on a diplomatic visit from an American Senator, since Senator Lieberman came for the humans several weeks ago.

"Post-Revolution in My Garden" (30"x13"/77cm x 34cm),  hand and machine appliquéd, embroidered and quilted.

The gray background of this piece represents well the unusual damp, gray weather we've had since mid-December that parallels the political climate of Tunisia.

And HOW did my artistic strands of thought on War, Revolution, and Chaos creep into my peaceful garden theme?????

                                   And that’s life in the New Tunisia….
