The memory of the God who became a child

"Advent is concerned with that very connection between memory and hope which is so necessary to man. Advent’s intention is to awaken the most profound and basic emotional memory within us, namely, the memory of the God who became a child. This is a healing memory; it brings hope.

Be Grateful

 “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more… It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” 

Melody Beattie

The Feminine Ideal

The Gibson Girl influenced society in the early 1900's . She crossed many societal lines opening the way for women to participate in things they had never done before. She like Barbie, portrayed women as strong individuals who could play sports while maintaining perfectly coiffed hair and dress. She was criticized by many, much like Barbie, for creating an unrealistic ideal of what women should look like: perfect proportions and long flowing hair. Despite the criticism she was a trend setter, a model for women in both dress and action, just like Barbie.

Rococo Love

 I must confess my muse left me. She must be drunk because it was a holiday here yesterday and I guess she is still enjoying herself because she hasn't come home yet. Since I love so much Rococo, I decided to create something of that style for Art Every Day Month. Here it is.
