Virtual New Zealand and
Additional Blog Challenges

"Extraordinary TRAVIATA...living her fullest life!"
Inspired by the challenge blog 4X4 FRIDAY (that tasked artists to create anything they wished to create,) I thought I'd do a tribute piece to honor the incredibly wonderful opera I saw recently at the Met in New York City...La Traviata. I love the theme of living life to its fullest (hard to do when you know you're dying of tuberculosis) as did the opera's heroine, Violetta... La Traviata translates to mean "one who goes astray..."
I hope you're well and life is treating you gently. I've been playing catch up this week...lots of laundry and errands that needed to be done because I was away last week. But, as always, I must make time for "art stuff" ...
For ART and SOLE's POSTCARD CHALLENGE 2012, we made our virtual journey to beautiful New Zealand. Since one of my correspondents (Bahati) is an indigenous person from a small Ethiopian village, whenever he travels, he's interested in the plight of those original country residents. In the case of New Zealand, that would be the colorful Maori people.
Hugs,
