Blue Rhinoceros
Well no, not really as there is no such thing as a blue rhinoceros. This is, as you've already been informed, a black rhinoceros. You can tell by his rather funny prehensile lip. I wanted to paint this guy again in different colors. These colors are different, as you can see. I wanted to try painting without using any red as I always get obsessed with red. Even if the painting doesn't have red in it, I will add red at the end. In the end, with this experiment, I think I will probably go back and add some red, both in the rhino and the background. I just can't stay away from the color, I guess.
Do I have anything interesting to type today? I think not, other than the fact that I was really feeling like Sisyphus at work yesterday. I kept trying to roll my ball up the hill and it came crashing down over and over and kept making baby balls that I just had to keep rolling up the hill and they kept multiplying and multiplying. And I think Sisyphus was lucky just having to deal with the one ball... I think we're all starting to feel like this at work and it is very disheartening when one of our people is moving to a new library via reassignment and we don't get anyone reassigned to our place. How crappy is that? This wasn't interesting typing, was it? Just work venting...
Anyway, I'll stop trying to come up with anything interesting. I think the blue rhinoceros would probably come up with more interesting typing than mine. What would he say? "I was painted today and I'm feeling quite blue. Where is the red? I don't like being a painted rhino because I don't get to eat or wallow in the mud. Right now I'm perched on a bookshelf. What's the fun in that? I would read one of these books, but rhinos don't know how to read, especially those of us without any red."

Oh Anne, I wouldn't change a thing about this painting. It's beautiful! I'm partial to blue so I love all the different swirls you have in the background. Lovely.
