RIBBON OF LIFE - THE SHOW!

Across the Verrazano Bridge to Manhattan island, delivering art to Ceres Gallery. Installation and fix the lights. Post the labels and sweep the floor. Fun is on its way!

MIGRANTS AND WALLS

Walls are barriers that keep you safe or can imprison you. Walls stop but they also leak. Walls attract attention, too. They say "Look, Look! Here is something worth protecting." Walls fall, too. They always do. This painting captures some irony and beauty and has some little jokes. One butterfly is not like the others. Fun and mystery, both.

NYRB! and RIBBON OF LIFE - IMMIGRANTS ALL

I got my copy of the 60th anniversary issue of the NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS! The ad for my Ceres exhibit is on page 77 and it looks Grand! Susan Grabel is in the other gallery at Ceres at the same time as I am in gallery number 2. The ad for her exhibit is on page 75. It is so wonderful to see the word getting out!!!

TIME with FRIENDS AND A VASE OF FLOWERS

I painted this in 2010 but it just looked so .....so lonely? Dried Flowers can be beautiful but adding the butterflies, bees and a striped beetle gave the composition a sense of story. From timeless to moving through time. Love It!

ANOTHER LAUNCHED IN THE WORLD - SOLD!

This one sold before it got to be exhibited. Just from my house to their house!! I hope it gets to sing its song for many years to come. I named it STILL I RISE, (h)16" x 20".

THE RIBBON OF LIFE with Music

These two paintings capture something of the music of the natural world. Maybe silly but entertaining too..................

THE RIBBON OF LIFE - Immigrants All

Exhibiting my artwork is a dialogue with the world, the culture I live in. The artwork is already shipped, reservations are made and the excitement grows. These objects of thought, these mystreries soon will be all together, on a wall!I study to learn, practice, explore art supplies and images. Then I apply with courage. There is an underlying ribbon of life that binds us together. All of life. All of us. In any of the arts - in words or dance or song or imagery. Inside and out the artist becomes both observer and participant. Bugs – butterflies, ladybugs, dragonflies soar in the grand supernal of our world and our imaginations. The tremendous losses of these essential elements of the ribbon of life could be an irreparable doom for all of us.
