THE SISTERS SERIES:  ADVICE AT THE FARMERS MARKET

16 x 20" Mixed Media Collage on Canvas

I've been working on some more (Big) Sisters.  A little different format and a little smaller size than my usual 24 x 30.  They have a little more intimate feel about them and, it's a lot better size to work on since my Studio in our home now is much smaller!  :)

CLOUDS OF THE DAY ...

Here is your puzzle of the day.  We were recently over in Helena, MT. visiting friends.  There wasn't a lot of cloud activity this particular day but there certainly were a lot of vapor trails from the Jets flying overhead.  I loved seeing the Sun dancing between the trails so I took this photo.  You see the Sun.  You see the vapor trails.  That's all I saw until I downloaded the photo from my phone to my computer.  The other 'object' with the Blue and Pink rim ... was not visible to the naked eye when I took the picture.  At least not my eyes!  I do have to admit I was looking up at the sun when I shot the picture so maybe ...  So, what is it?  My guess would be a Satellite of sorts.  Of course, it's more fun if we let our imaginations become more vivid and so much more interesting that way ...

And here is what you can't see in the photo above ...

I believe alien life is quite common in the universe, although intelligent life is less so.
Some say it has yet to appear on planet Earth.

Show at 'Manic Moon and More' Gallery

This is one corner of the room where my work was shown.  This is to the left of the entry.   I have pieces on another wall across from this too.  The Gallery is in an old Victorian House with plaster walls.  So as not to continually damage the walls the hanging system is metal chain and 'S' hooks.  I have to say it's a little hard to hang the paintings and have them lay flat so it's a 'wee bit' of a challenge, but despite that it didn't turn out too bad. 

This is another room which is just off to the right of the entry.  I apologize ~ this is a little blurry on the one side (no, it's not your eyes!) , but this is where most of the Jewelry and a lot of the smaller items are.  The Gallery has one more small room off of this and then there is even some Display space upstairs.  (The hardwood floors are beautiful!)

This is a close-up of one of the pieces in the show.  It's from my 'Sisters' Series . . .
