Hot off the Press-Images of art @Buttonwood Art Space...

I just received these from the art space show The Note Illustrated.  The business manager just sent.  She said they were very well reserved & there was a very large turnout for the "soft" opening.  The big Kahuna opening is the 1st weekend in March.  I so want to go, by George!


Buttonwood, an advertising agency did a smart thing by turning there office into an art gallery.  And smart way to do the business of advertising and allowing their clients + the public to see & buy art in all the genres in their space.  May other business see it is an excellent move to the same!

 "Steppin'" 

Way to be Okay~Great Expectation or Greater Appreciation...

Expect nothing;Appreciate everything"~Unknown 

Right off the bat I can say I appreciate this quote on appreciation. 

I appreciate organic tomatoes: 
 

I appreciate warmth when it is too cold 
 

And coolness when it is too hot. 

I appreciate clean water: 
 

And the availability to drink it freely: 
 

I appreciate laughter & Bugs Bunny: 
 

Finding humor when their is so much sadness 
And I appreciate being able to hear the laughter. 

I appreciate feeling deeply when there are many are too numb to feel at all. 

I appreciate being 60 when far too many do not get out of childhood, adolescent or experience young adulthood. 

I appreciate grandeur 
 

And awesome-ness even at night:
 


I appreciate the arts in all its genres, 

Dance: 
 

*Music in all its forms: 

 

*Visual: 
 

Literature: 
 


I appreciate love both small & large 
 
And seasoned with cayenne:

In stolen moments: 
 

I appreciate purple sofas: 
 

And red lipstick: 
 

And great perfume: 
 

**Beautiful flowers, gardens and natural spaces: 

 

I appreciate friendships long ones and short ones: 

 

I even appreciate those who show who they are, so I know not to be that way: 
 

I appreciate even more who show kindness so I can be that way more: 
 

I expect to continue to do the same in 2011.

Dress Rehearsal

By Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney©03

Ladies’ sounds in dress rehearsal…
Showering the room with spherical tunes.
A bounty coming forth from luscious lips.
Crooning pearl drops, shadow of times yore.
From the ladies’ sounds in dress rehearsal.

Shall the universe be in a repast?
Engorging on this poetic parade? A soul serenade?
Twinkling lights caught up in the moment
The soul timbre swept in from the waves on the oceanic side of the muse.
Bell tones…
Vibraphones…
Work those bones!
Midnight hands’ serving the backdrop and candlelight’s dressing the ambience.
A staging so grand that even the sun…
And the moons…
And the stars must stand in rapturous wonderment.
For the ladies’ sounds in dress rehearsal.
