“Rainy Season” Mixed-Media Assemblage by Judy Dykstra-Brown 8″X5″: brass, sterling silver, pewter, iron, plastic and acrylic paint.
For fourteen years, I’ve intended to establish a website for my art, but somehow I always preferred to spend the time constructing my assemblages. Hearing the first rainbird of the season, I was reminded of this piece and it occurred to me that I could start posting pictures of my art on this site. Perhaps tomorrow I’ll post a poem to go with it. (A rainbird is the name for a local cicada, whose buzzsaw song always presages the rainy season.)

Judy, ours haven’t started yet, and when they do, they will be speaking in disappointing whispers in comparison to their larger cousins in Mexico. I LOVED the railbirds. Enchanting the first time you hear them, and enchanting after the millionth time you hear them. Magical. I remember the first one that I actually saw, clinging to our bedroom screen door. Gigantic. Worthy of reverence.
