I love Michelangelo's Pieta. The first time I saw it, it brought tears to my eyes. I cannot understand how an artist could create such a sense of compassion and pathos out of stone!
I must be getting older. I have become impatient with all the easter bunny and santa claus myths. They have their place but I would like to see more emphasis put on the original christian reasons for the seasons. There is great magic there.
I used to take my girls to see a passion play in Kamloops. I loved it because of the story and the fact that the local church people all took part, even one physically handicapped girl who was turned into a princess carried about in a palanquin, and there were animals..donkeys and goats. It was a simple but oh so powerful story brought to life.
Every day I start out with good intentions. I sit down to the keyboard meaning to just check my blog and the sites of a few artists. And then...I get sucked into the net!!
I'm quite enjoying the collage elements in these. Some have stock market newspaper backgrounds, some have torn colored paper backgrounds and some have stamped backgrounds.

I'm impatiently waiting. I had my pastel drawings sent to my Montana shipping address. It is generally easier to have things shipped there and then I go down every 2 0r 3 months and pick up a number of items. Having things from the states shipped to Canada takes a long time and there is a charge for clearing customs. Plus, driving to Eureka is a nice trip and they have a great little 50's style diner, the Jax Cafe. Try the squash soup, it's fab!
