Yupo: TIME

8"x8", Yupo paper, acrylic, collage and ink. I placed this mosaic to better see the progress of this adventure in Yupo. What did I learn? This paper can handle lightweight fabric and paper collage. Glazing worked well or at least I'll try it again.
Below is the 'conversation' that I wrote as I began this piece and referred to as I painted. I'm looking forward to creating nine more and I have topics to consider from 'forgiveness' to' choices' to 'belonging'...nine in total!

I have also finished my last of the three large pastel pieces having to do with wings and my long standing meditation. I had a place in mind to hang these three...a lovely restaurant with smooth concrete walls. I was willing to approach the owner with my photos and I planned on special framing. Alas, the restaurant has closed...sign of the times. So now I will photograph and then carefully store them in a safe place unframed until I see a place that will work.

TIME

In space
Where cares are few
In light
Where all is seen
In circles
Where movement is guaranteed
Counting what has been
Counting on what will be
Black marks making secret wishes
Is there time?
Time enough for me?

Heading towards the Finishing Line

Third photo of this "conversation' piece and I think I'll be finishing in the next approach. Each time one begins to work...all new challenges present themselves so I'm all talk...we shall see. When I am done, I hope to put these efforts together in a photo mosaic for display on the blog. Still working on 'Wings' series and will be ready to share a small peek...a photo of progress or rubble...it's at a do or die place. ha

I promised to reveal 7 things about myself but this is about my third set of 7 reveals so I'm digging deep into my unusual claims to fame and or secrets or just more of me and my life. I think I'll need to decline awards as I am out of 'stuff' about me or at least 'stuff' I can print!

In no particular order: 1. In 2000 was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer and surgery and radiation were required...I still keep a close watch. 2. At 58 I had a 'little work done'....lazer surgery and it refreshed my skin nicely....terrible burn recovery though. 3.I have forgotten how to swim so I float up at the pool using my reliable 'noodle'. 4.Lived in LA and husband worked in Beverly Hills...we met a ton of stars...even Lassie and The Lone Ranger! ha 5. For a short time served on a board of a woman's gallery in Sacramento, CA. 6. Lived in a Victorian House on a waterway with a small dock...enjoyed nature's critters. 7. Created an installation in a art gallery called 'Goddess Room???'
