RETROSPECTIVE

I just love Toad Rock! It's real close, just the right size, hard to paint and easy to climb. It has become a symbol of home and an idea to hang variatiions on. [Its broken and cracked but may last another millennium or two! ]

People say to me, 'thank you for giving us Toadrock'. I say, 'I didn't give anybody Toadrock, I just saw it and began painting it about 30 years ago. The myth seems to have taken its own natural process. The neckties were contributed by David and Judy. They give it class.

I've also made a Bronze sculpture of it, but it seems to have disappeared, [so I made a cement sculpture of the bronze Toadrock that disappeared.]

It has become one of my Icons. I kinda have identified with it. If you come visit me, I'll offer to take you a climbin up it. Although, a shot of Gin may be required to help you get up there that day.
