Ha!<br /><br />Helen's sun beams recalled a poster made for Biology class my freshman year in high school for the very first Earth Day: rays of sun block by a clot of smog with the words "Let the sun shine in" because that was the reality of New York prior to the EPA.<br /><br />Julie's sun takes me to the beach ... the sun rising over the Atlantic, setting over the sound on the fragile barrier island known as the Outer Banks.<br /><br />Jocelyn brings Maya Angelou to mind ... and that always brings me back to a hopeful day in 1993 when I stood on the Mall in Washington and listened to her recite "On the Pulse of Morning"<br /><br />Deborah's hare pulls me in two directions ... to the trickster tales of the desert southwest and to Saskia's lithe rabbits in Tales from the Bird Hut<br /><br />The complexity of Lauren's piece speaks for itself<br /><br />Melissa's reflective work is haunting ... I just hope it doesn't foretell a day when we need to re-create the EPA<br /><br />Vaishalee's peacock initially "read" as a vase of rose buds ... guess I'm in a Valentine's state of mind<br /><br />Tiffany's bold use of complementary colors is an inspiration as I am slowly but surely bringing more color into my own work<br /><br />And last, but not least, Mary's spirals draw me back to the beach yet again ... a place I'm happy to go<br /><br />Thanks to all ... you have made my morning!Liz Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397660873950991774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693840035768093010.post-3959989085471794382017-02-07T12:29:17.302-08:002017-02-07T12:29:17.302-08:00Functional beauties all ...Functional beauties all ...Liz Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397660873950991774noreply@blogger.com
