Nonnie of the BBEST Team featured me among others on the BBEST Team Blog yesterday.  There is a lovely writeup …  In part Nonnie says “Life is mysterious. Life is wonderful. We are all tied together in our history of life. We BBESTers are tied together by our common goals and interests, and more than a few of us share a love for the sea.” Thank you, Nonnie!

The BBEST Team at Etsy is a great group of people.  Here is what they say about BBEST on their BBEST Blog: “The BBEST Team is a vibrant and talented group of Etsians aged 40+ who are dedicated to Etsy which is synonymous with quality handmade items. Our very diverse group provides a place to chat, exchange ideas, help and support like minded members who call themselves the Boomers and Beyond Etsy Street Team.”

Marionette of the VAST team featured me and one of my vibrant colorful paintings on the Etsy Fine Art Gallery Blog. Marionette has a lovely blog “Featuring only the most talented fine artists on Etsy today.”  I am thrilled to be included in this post!! There are lots of lovely art pieces from very talented artists and I am delighted to be included in this gallery!!  Thank you!

Every week Illustration Friday has a challenge for a specific word. It is a great way to showcase your work and a wonderful opportunity to meet lots of wonderful people! Anyone can join in with their entry to Illustration Friday. I so much enjoy doing this challenge. This week is Adapt.

My special cousin and I are also Adapting to the circumstances.  I would say he will be here (on earth) for awhile … no knowing how long, and I think we are all becoming more accepting of that. How are you doing? Thank you for stopping by!

The Artists of Franklin County, a local group that I coordinate, have been having Artists Window Exhibits (AWE Project) since 2006.  We have a current one going on for the month of May.  Local artists are putting our artwork in local windows and on indoor walls to beautify Greenfield and to help build the Creative Economy. Today Susan Elkin and I put up our artists window at Wilson’s – the local department store.  Actually we helped our friend Cindy put up the windows … she did an incredible job and I learned tons today by assisting her!!  Here I am in the before picture … this is what the empty window looked like.

There are lots of reflections but I hope you can see the general idea.  The after picture is below.  We hung cloth at the back of the window space, hung paintings from the ceiling, put more cloth on the floor – Cindy did a fantastic job!! Susan will take more pictures at another time so you can see what an incredible window Cindy created!! Wow!!

Setting up the window took hours and I am ready to fall on my face.  Today is done … the next couple of days are still booked way too solid.  I am so tired I need retype at least 2 words per sentence … so I am going to stop here for tonight … wish me luck soaring gracefully through the next few days!  Thank you so much for coming by!!
