Art, to whatever degree we can get a handle on (I’m not sure that we really can) is a process. It begins in the heart and the mind with the eyes and hands.”

Today, June 1 2019, is the first day of a new month and yesss, after many many months I finally remembered to start the day by saying ‘rabbit, rabbit, white rabbit‘!! Y’all might not be familiar with this habit, but it means that I will receive good luck for the whole coming month, yayyy!
Ha, call me superstitious but hey, who would not want good luck for a month! And…who knows, it might be contagious so stick close to me this month. 😉
