Jane has entered a phase with her art that in years to come I believe will be referred to as her "Flippin' Awesome Period." Here are a few of her most recent works:
"Portrait of the Artist's Mother, Otherwise Known as M♥M."
The number of fingers is stylistically exaggerated, likely to represent the mother's attempts to multi-task. The hairstyle, however, is not exaggerated.
From the artist's "Studies with Mice" series-
"Lonely Mouse on Sunny Day"
And "Kissing Mice on Sunny Day"
From her "Birds" series-
"Red Bird"
And "Birds on a Walk"
And finally, a rare self-portrait of the artist, entitled "If I had antlers, I would use them to bird feeder"
It would take some brave birds. . .

While we're on the subject of Jane and greatness, here are a few choice Jane moments I'll certainly hold dear-
A conversation between Jane and the elderly neighbors we stopped by to visit:
Jane: "Where are your kids?"
Nice old lady: "We don't have any kids."
Jane: "Are they dead?"
Me: (elbow Jane in ribs) "Jane."
Nice old lady: (chuckle) "No, they're not dead."
Jane: "Then, can I have their toys?"
Me: "Jane!!"
Jane: "If they're not dead, then where are they?"
Nice old man: "I'm shooting blanks, kid."
Jane: "What's that?"
Me: "Wellwebettergetoutofyourhair. Thanks for letting us stop by!"
(During our 20 minute visit, Jane also downed 2 bottles of their water and asked to use their bathroom three times.)
Finally, Jane on a car ride to our friends' house for dinner on Sunday:
Jane: "Mom, Malan is skeedooshing me." (Kung Fu Panda style) "Stop skeedooshing me, malan!"
Caleb and I then proceed to start laughing because it sounds like she is saying "seducing me" and then we just couldn't help sending a simultaneous double skeedoosh in her direction, which sent her over the edge:
Jane: "Stop it! I'm going to BUST you up! In REAL LIFE! I'm going to spit on ALL of you!
Plbbhhtt! Phhbbt! Plllbbtht!"
We really did feel bad at this point for goading her on, so we called a truce. Plus, Caleb could hardly see to drive he was laughing so hard.
Oh my, oh my, we love our spicy little Jane, her art, and her moments of comedic genius.
