Wow! Hard to believe I missed all of May in this blog!

I just finished a second run of the best 12-week program on art, “The Creative Visionary Path 2020.” Having taken this course (a deep dive into the principles of value, design, color, and more) twice now, I feel really nurtured in my art practice by the Art2Life community that I am now part of.

My heart has been heavy over world events of late. We are still being advised to stay home/stay safe, especially old folks like myself ; 0 )

On top of the Corona virus, police brutality has manifested again, this time in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with the murder of George Floyd, a black man who allegedly passed a counterfeit $20 bill. The cop got him down on the ground in the street, and knelt on his neck for over 8 minutes. Poor George begged to be let up, but ended up strangled to death according to his autopsy. There have been 10 nights of protests so far. It looks like this time there may actually be some positive changes as a result. I sure hope so! Black people (as well as all people of color) have been mistreated since the time of slavery. Time to move forward!
