Hi people,

A few problems are popping up in my personal life.  But what matter?   Art is what it is all about.  I have posted quite a few new things and am busily preparing for the big show...one in July and one in Sept.   Both are open houses and run for 4 days.  It is very exciting to have this be part of my art life.  I so look forward to meeting people and generally open up my heart - which I do on a daily basis, because - that is where my art comes from.  Inside of me.

My brother is struggling now with cancer and doing treatments.  The economy is tearing the heart out of many family members and close friends - they are losing so much.  And to top it off, my mother is doing so well with her health but her mind is simply not there anymore.  It is painful to know all that she does not know anymore.  I want so much for her to remember.  But it will  never ever happen now.  Saying goodbye to her will not ever be the same as if I said goodbye to her when she had all her faculties.  People throughout the ages have wished for foresight into the future..If I had known, I would have said goodbye when she could have remembered.  But that is so silly, as she would not remember now anyway.

Confusing thoughts.  Who cares.. Makes me sad. 

OK, all for now.  But I will tell you that I am working on a fabulous butterfly with a human face, a front row theater with funny expressions, and the side and front of buildings in third world countries.  So goodnight for now....
