Fresh outlook

"Hey you out there!" I say off the back of my last post. Today, I shrug off the last vestiges of the past several months to make a shout into the world.

It's Spring! Not merely the season, which comes whether anyone is ready for it or not, but the concept. Spring is a resetting. Clocks get turned ahead which makes every morning brighter. Snow and ice melt to be replaced by greenery, once again. It will amaze me for as long as I live that rhubarb WILL grow as soon as the air opens up above the ground.

In short, be the rhubarb; so is my outlook today. Excitement is bubbling away in me. Though I have to remind myself to be patient, as the Art in the Wilds show is still months away, there is not a day that passes in which I don't think about what I'll see there. Memories from past shows keep that excitement fed. The varied arts; woodworking, pottery, painting, textiles, oh my, to the artists themselves, the smell of grass and evergreens in the summer breeze!

"Hey you!" I say, to those who's eyes glance this way. "Turn to face forward. The world is out there creating brand new things. Rise and shine, then let's join in!"

Whether you are a creator or a collector, look forward to what's coming up. Spring is here so try some spring cleaning. Rearrange things in anticipation of showcasing a brand new piece of art that will make your days brighter and wonderous.

Upcoming in April, I'm going to be delving into the vast world of 'Strange Art'. Think: Aluminum Ant Hill or Colored Pencil Turning.

See you in a few days!
