Hi Folks,
There are just strips of the off-white, formerly pure white fluffy stuff left around our garage...the last remnants of winter. Haven't seen any new green growth pushing up through our thawing earth yet, though! Has Spring "sprung" where you live? Last year at this time it was in the 80's here in Central New York. Today, it's a mere 21 degrees!! Amazing difference...
The art blog challenges for this week are varied. CRAZY AMIGO blog is thinking ahead to June I think...they want participants to do a piece about weddings. I used the wedding photo of a sweet girl I've known since she was 6 and came to our city for open heart surgery. She lives in Russia and we've kept in touch all these years. Now in her mid-20's and a mother of one (so far,) I put her and her husband in a vintage book...
Flicker's DIGITALMANIA has us inspired by two artists...one this week and one for next! This week it's Jacub Gagnon, a Canadian artist who does whimsical, surreal renderings of wildlife set against a stark black background.

| "Bath Time"
The second artist is a young Korean man who works primarily with faces and bright colors. His name: Minjae Lee.
INSPIRATION AVENUE is curious to see where we live. I was born in New York City...my piece is about taking the subway trains! It's vintage because some of the older women dressed like this when I was little and was taking the train with my Nana!! Seems like yesterday...
