Oh no, we have no Red Unicorn in Dallas we have a Red Pegasus.
"In 1934, the Magnolia Petroleum Company, predecessor to Mobil Oil, erected a large oil derrick on the roof of the city's first skyscraper, which was billed the tallest building south of Washington D.C. and west of the Mississippi. The derrick supported two 35-by-50-foot red neon signs that formed the image of a Pegasus, a mythological Flying Red Horse that was once the company's corporate logo and has since become a treasured landmark of the Texan city." :lecture:

Nice to see you managed to get out of that car....
Seriously, these are good, and still recognizably your style.
The bird and the plane (which looks like it opens its mouth to swallow the bird).
That bull, so absolutely out of place, charging at nothing and everything.
The flaming pegasus; I much prefer the second version, with the rider (seeing it escape from him, no doubt).
Thanks for sharing!

I appreciate your input/analysis of the rider and the Pegasus, it suggests a new title I will have to think a bit more on

I some times wear the hat of a regional grass roots historian.

Lili, after looking at your pictures for a couple days, I just want to say that I really like how you are arranging the elements in your compositions. Very thoughtful!

I can tell
One thing in working with the Public, esp in the Bar world, I loved listening to the stories about times past, oral history esp from our older clients.
Things that never made into the books, but are fascinating nonetheless
