The One Sticked Drummer, acrylic on plywood. I used to pass this merry drummer, almost every day, south of the zocalo in Oaxaca City, where street vendors sold produce on small tables or mats on the ground. He always had a friendly word for all.

An almost life-size charcoal drawing by geneticist Henriette Meuter “Jette” Foss,(born February 9, 1937, Rotterdam, Holland, died October 3, 2022, Eugene, Oregon) of her mother, Maria Meuter, sitting in a chair reading a novel with Jette’s daughter, Jean Foss, sitting on a foot stool nearby. Drawing from c. 1974. The photo is taken outside, due to its large size, with garden foliage showing on either side.
Posting this large drawing of my Oma and me, by my late mother, H.M. “Jette”Foss, on her birthday. Though an amazing artist, Jette was more known for her work in genetic recombination, crossover interference, & DNA methylation. She often collaborated w/Frank Stahl.
