finding beauty

Last night we had a lovely celebration of friends, family, food for my husband's 50th birthday. I am indeed very very blessed.
and time in the studio this week also just flowed.
lots of new collage paintings seemed to blossom before my eyes.
Ten mushroom collages done -- based on photos of wonderful mushrooms growing briefly in our front yard, there one day, gone the next.
Such richness is right here in our midst - if we just celebrate it.
It's here.
then it's gone.
What a gift have time to capture such beauty and also to be grateful for what we have.
