August 1975. Teaching in the summer program at Landmark School. Lunchtime. Sitting with a few women at a picnic table overlooking the Atlantic. None of us married, then-new acquaintance Sylvia and I with weddings on the near horizon. Topic of discussion: would we keep our maiden names or take our husbands' surnames?*
August 2018. Sylvia and I have been BFF's for 43 years now, and our respective marriages are very much alive and kicking. Pretty awesome.
Happy Anniversary, Sylvia and Dan!

That's the wonderful part of the process, getting into the flow and being into the special moment. Love the title... as we create we see new paths! If not, we wait till they appear!
Carol, yes—love that part of painting where I move into the flow. Glad you like the title! For me it speaks to my long-standing friendship with Sylvia, it speaks to marriage, and it speaks to creating : )
You are such a good storyteller...I get lost in the loveliness of your words, and then BLAM! There is a piece of art. And this piece grabs my heart - it both abstract and whimsy combined. How did THAT happen? Love.
Jen, thanks for encapsulating my approach to blogging—get a good story going and then punctuate it with art! So happy to have you 'get' me! So happy that this piece grabbed your heart with abstract and whimsy. As to how THAT happened—I couldn't tell you!
