All Things Seem Possible In May

I LOVE the month of May, it's such a beautiful time of year.  The flowers are beginning to bloom, the smell of the air is so sweet, and you can sit outside comfortably without blood sucking mosquitoes attacking you from every direction.  I find carpenter bees very curious, even though I don't like the the destruction they do to my flower boxes and the sides of my 
deck.  I can't help wonder what they are thinking in their tiny little minds when they fly right next to me and hover like a helicopter examining me as I'm doing with them.  We look at each other eye to eye for several seconds before they jet off to some other curiosity.  


Flowers are in abundance everywhere, take in their beauty and marvelous fragrances.














After three years of leg pain, lethargy, and various other grumbles, it has finally been confirmed I do have fibromyalgia.  I have started going to an acupuncturist and  feeling a difference already.  I still need to take pain medicine on occasion, but to feel semi-human again is a miracle.

The theme at the "Art League Gallery" this month is entitled "Bedtime Stories".  Noah, my son, and I both had pieces accepted to be in the show.  Noah's sculpture sold the day after the show went up.  I don't have a photo of his work to post.  My piece is called "Onilee's Last Dance ".  It was inspired by my memories of my dancing days.  My photo isn't the greatest, but if you look hard you might see her dancing shoes she keeps in her soul.






One other piece I experimented with was making these pillow like figures.... it didn't excite me, but it just playing with a new idea.



I have several new works that are in the drying process so I'll have quite a few new pieces
to share with you next month.  One of the sculptures is to honor the strength and courage women have when fighting cancer and knowing that a woman's beauty and femininity is
a state of mind, not a state of body.
