always makes my face smile.
Tracy and I had a wonderful day yesterday at the Botanical Gardens with Ramblin' Kathy. This is Kathy and you won’t see a picture of either Tracy or myself here. We’re very camera shy and critical of ourselves….not to mention sticks-in-the-mud. (Is that the right way to make that statement plural??? You know like brothers-in-law instead of brother-in-laws?)
We saw so many wonderful things and I, myself, took 197 pictures. I’ve whittled that down to 156, but obviously they will take a little time to sort through.
Kathy started her post at KFH Photo Journal with one of the beautiful BioMythic masks of Gwynn Popovac. So I thought I would share my favorite from that group here today.
This is Patience….
“Artist Gwynn Popovac’s biomythic masks will be on display in Ottosen Gallery in Dorrance Hall. Each mask blends the textures, shapes and hues of natural habitats such as deserts, wetlands and tide pools with human features. These intricate three dimensional masks incorporate a variety of man-made and found objects such as wire, plaster, beads, fabric and stones.” americantowns.com
I believe “patience” was required to complete this mask. It is very intricate and beautiful.
Over the next few days, I’ll be sharing more of what Tracy, Kathy and I saw at the Botanical Gardens. Spending time with friends is what the day was really all about though. You should do that every chance you get.

I know what you mean about connecting with others of like mind...something about it enriches the soul.
This is a gorgeous piece of art! Even had I the talent, I do not possess the patience needed to complete such a task. It sounds like you guys had a great time!
