THIRD WEEK IN MAY
May 15, 2013
 
 
Beautiful green of spring lifts spirits!


We spent a wonderful Mother's Day weekend with our daughter and grandkids. Our grandson played in an awesome concert...a player in the coronet section...so proud of him. He's a young musician like his Dad... the youngest player in the group!! 


We also had tickets  for the blockbuster Broadway hit, THE BOOK OF MORMON .  By the same people who wrote the TV series SOUTH PARK (that we never watched,) this show was hilarious and the music was memorable. Its message for me was that having faith...believing in something larger than yourself...gives you hope! Most enjoyable...
On to the art...
COLLAGE OBSESSION's challenge blog asked us to include steps or a staircase in our art... I played with a photo taken at an ancient temple in Cambodia's Siem Reap.
SUNDAY POSTCARD ART  was interested in seeing chevron shapes... I used one of many photos of a zebra ...loved playing with this one!
 TAKE A WORD is honoring MOTHERS for another week...I honor mine!
Finally, THE THREE MUSES let their weekly challenge  participants run wild...the only thing required was the use of any quote we'd like. I used one from Mark Twain who said "The Creator made Italy from designs by Michaelangelo."  (Truer words were never said!!!) I played with a photo taken in Cortona, Italy. I love the ancient stairs and portions of an equally ancient fresco on the wall.
 
 Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you for the next posting. Have a great week...
 
Big Hugs,
