BACK TO ART
May 5, 2019
Greetings, Family and Friends! Hope this posting finds you well and smiling.
We just spent a weekend with our daughter and grandchildren, Hunter (16) and Lilly (14). It was a weekend filled with music as the beginning of May always is. Our daughter, Michelle, sings with a community choir that's been going strong for 20 years and their music brings smiles to our hearts. We're used to seeing Michelle perform as we did throughout her school days and are happy that the joy continues...actually, has spread to include both of her children who are both gifted musicians. Actually, all three had solos in their performances, (although the drum isn't Lilly's instrument of choice...she's studying musical theater so her voice is her instrument of choice!) Here's what they looked like in performance mode...

In the art department, I've started to participate in my favorite online art groups like DIGITALMANIA. This week's task is to take famous people and place them in another time frame...if it's someone from the past, place him/her in a present day setting. I really enjoyed this playtime...here's what I created...

Chief Two Moons was a famous Cheyenne leader. I enjoyed imagining him today as a real estate agent getting the money his people should get for the land taken from them...

Nelson Mandela is much more recognizable than Chief Two Moons. I'm remembering a time in South Africa BEFORE Mandela stepped up to change the way the blacks were treated...APARTHEID.

Can you recognize anyone from the past in this piece...a famous movie-maker who walked through some of his scenes...almost unnoticed? Perhaps today, Alfred Hitchcock would be creating movies about the world's terrorist epidemic!!
That's it for this posting. Wishing you a peaceful few weeks...
Until the next,
Big Hugs,
