ArtsIlliana Gallery Show Acceptance
(I hate to see Lizards In The Leaves languish so. Looks like the only way I'll be able to put some life back into this blog is to post my Instagram pics and thoughts. Which will be very redundant for anyone who follows me on social media. Except I'll probably be inspired to add a little something here to expand on the post.)
These three pieces were accepted for the next ArtsIlliana gallery show and were delivered Saturday.
What a boost to my spirit it was to even submit in the first place.
I
am taking it slowly, but trying to emerge. It’s a new life. With new
rules and expectations. And I am not calling anything any kind of
‘normal.’
