Spirits, Vessels, and The Planets

Detail, "Still Life"

​The show in Los Alamos, “Spirit Lines”, ended a few weeks ago, and I drove up there to pick up my four pieces, and drop off another piece for the next show, Vessel, which opened on Mothers’ Day weekend.  While I was at the opening, I found out that my flame-infused image, “My Thoughts Be True” won the Viewers’ Choice Award during the Spirit Lines show.  What a delight!  This piece is the second in a series that I call “Elements”.

"Still Life" at Fuller Lodge Art Center

The show “Vessel” opened at Fuller Lodge Art Center in Los Alamos on Friday, May11. The exhibit space was full of beautifully crafted pieces, including many ceramic items; woman-as-vessel was the predominant subject.  I submitted one piece, “Still Life” which I thought was appropriate to the theme of the show.  “Vessel” runs to June 22.

June Events

Upcoming is the Interplanetary Festival in Santa Fe, (www.interplanetaryfest.org) which will be held concurrently with the Currents event.  I will present my galactic and planetary pieces in the art show, on Friday June 8, in the Railyard.

Detail, "Bloom"

Soon after, my portrait of Leopold Bloom will be in the art show in conjunction with the Santa Fe Bloomsday event, Saturday June 16, 7 pm, at the CCA in Santa Fe: readings, music, and food.

​The show in Española is ongoing (it’s been extended!), as is the show at Fire & Hops, so interested parties still have time to see art there, although it is going fast; today, another piece sold at Fire & Hops, the galaxy piece I titled “Passion”.
In a few months’ time, is the Fest for Beatles Fans, where I join my team Troika for performance and spoken word as well as present the Fans Art Show.

​Much of my time is preparing for these events, but I still find time to find beauty: wisteria in my courtyard, roses in the backyard and a striped horned toad on the mountain trail.

 What's Next?
 I am going on a trip soon, and will be visiting historical sites and places of literary interest, including the place that inspired scenes in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.    Yikes!     I will try to post photos, but often I go far afield in my travels and never end up exactly where I think I am heading.
