SPRING SPIRIT

The spring goddesses have been tugging at me to get outside and soak up all the goodness...but th miz aint been feelin it--needed a jump start....the doonanny in seale, alabama got me going...held at butch's place in the wide open spaces, it was just what i needed.   If you never been to the doonanny, put it on yo calendar for next year....you will get to see butch's museum of wonder and all his creations scattered throughout the farm..we all went to the possum trot auction and i came home with a buddy snipes armouire-who knows if i spelled that right..anywho-i was tickled to get it....sold some nice pieces and had a great time...my b-52's went to new york...funny story--the piece was done on an old barn door--aFTER 9-11 i painted a flag on it that said god bless america-9-11-01..it hung on the fence at my house for 5 years...after 5 years, it was rather worn so i took it down and made it a b-52's piece out of it...you can still see the faded flag in the background altho its not highly noticeable...the couple who bought the piece were from nyny---while looking at it they had me tell all about it so i explained the 9-11 story.  kinda gave me chills, the new owners had worked in the world trade center/twin towers.    so the 9-11/b-52's piece now resides in ny where i feel it was meant to be.....things happen for a reason....
Last week kat n i went to the high museum in atlanta to view the georgia o'keefe exhibit--what a talent... also took in the Louve exhibit--amazing....
my favorite thing i have done lately was go to the ave maria grotto in cullman alabama...if u have never been, its well worth the trip...brother joseph was a monk who was also a folk artist..he created the grotto and its something to see...
enough tripping around--gotta get back to my own art..got some visions of my own dancin in my head wantin to come out n play...earth day is comin up--plant a tree-do a little dance-spread th love!
