Today Chris and I celebrated 28 years of marriage, 30 years together. Still the most brilliant guy I know, and still manages to teach me with his patience and perseverance. And he is still younger than me, so I look forward to the next 30!
He remarked that we have officially lived with each other more than we have lived without each other. I remember hitting that milestone with my parents . Since I left home at 18 to go to college, I have lived twice as long away from them. But only in distance. My sisters, the CFCs, my extended family of the arts community, more sisters and brothers---just show me how the heart stretches, like Corn Mother's umbilical cord.
Sky, Laura, and Chris all called from around the world (literally!!) to wish us a happy day. It really, really was. I am the luckiest Mom ever.
I hung my stuff up at Spirit of the Hand Gallery in Brooksville. I love that it has good lighting and the iridesense of my paintings sparkles! Nanette, the owner/artist of the store is very supportive of the arts in general and I am grateful for the exposure and advice she's given me.
http://www.spiritofthehand.com is the website--I may be featured on it at some point before the show closes!
Today-the next day, the mural group finished the last interview for the newspapers. I am so proud of what we accomplished ! After working on my own for so long I had forgotten how great the camaraderie of fellow artists can be. Great support and a learning process. My thanks to Lynne Simone, Joe Starkey, Mae Polizze, Felicia Himmel, Grace Ashcraft, Jana Withers, Karen Heidler, Muriel Prieto, John De Roberts,and Rene Donson. (in no particular order, just a bad memory for names right now!) --my thanks for putting up with my brand of bossiness. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
