International Artist Day

 


To celebrate the incredible world of art, and to honor those creative souls who will leave a record of today for the future.  I came across this artist in action one day downtown.

This piece is from a Plein Air Painting event at the Reno Aces ballpark.


We have mostly local art in the house, but one of my all time favorite artists is Salvador Dali, this one in particular: Geopoliticus Child Watching the Birth of the New Man


A few years ago I met an artist from Rwanda, who shared his traumatic experiences and his beautiful work.


He runs a gallery called the Niyo Arts Centre as well as the Niyo Foundation, which "has been established to assist and support through art children in the streets, single mothers, genocide survivors and more generally, individuals stroke by poverty."

  Science is also serious. You may have heard that a case review is ongoing regarding the safety and science of an abortion pill, called mifepristone, that has been on the market since 2000. It's another attack from antiabortionists who want to restrict others from care and choice for themselves. Of course, the FDA already vetted the drug and numerous studies show the pill is safe and effective. "If courts can go against a whole tremendous amount of scientific evidence, that just doesn't seem right." More Info: Science News News and Politics

 Off we go! To the left - we're heading towards Utah and then down to Bryce Canyon. I'll pop in when I can so please share whatever you'd like throughout the week - music, news, some crazy fashion, or just a cool photo.  😊 I'll be back on the 23rd!

 A newer tradition developed from the horrors of certain families, or maybe just the stress of all the preparation, but Hubby and I are ditching all that this year - we're going camping. Perhaps some brandy to help keep us warm.... And I came across a yummy martini recipe: you'll need a pumpkin liquor (the particular one was a whiskey), vanilla vodka, and Irish cream.  Shake 'em up and then add a pinch of cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Be safe, be fed, be thankful. All my love.
