I’ve been a bad, bad blogger-girl. I’ve been very busy, and needed to “unplug” a bit, but that’s no excuse for my absence. Sorry.
So…onward.
During the time I disappeared from cyberspace, I went to Spain, which has a vibe and sensibility like no other place on earth. Need to see things from a totally different perspective? You gotta go.
And boy, we could all use a different perspective right about now.
Traveling the land of Picasso, Miró, Dalí , Buñuel and Gaudi for the third time, I had a renewed, more mature appreciation for how mind-blowingly different the country’s artistic output really is. The “Spanish Sensibility,” filled with abstraction, surrealism, and a wicked streatk of humor, strikes a chord with me. It’s so much more interesting not to have every detailed explained away with perfect logic, or all the messiness cleaned up by the final page/panel/reel.

With all the turbulence and pain in the world, the one certainty is that there is no certainty (save the proverbial death and taxes). So what the hell? Now is the perfect time to rethink your surroundings, your purpose, your problems and your opportunities. Mix things up and see what shows up on your canvas.
