Talent All Around Me

  Last Wednesday,the Performance Group held their annual Talent Show. Now I know that in The Open Eye Gallery there are artists who are blooming with new ideas every day.The Performance Group blew me away with all the talented acts on stage.Singing,
dancing in groups or solo.One in particular was an individual who performed a spoken word piece of how he looks at life was so moving that I almost cried.In fact I did cry.
Props also go out to the staff members who coached,supported and enabled quite a few of brand new performing artists to shine.They are all Stars to me.
  I have only been able to post one of the examples of something new that I am doing.
I had this idea that when people normally purchase greeting cards for a special occasion,they may spend upwards of $8 or so U.S dollars.I am painting recycled wood scraps as commissioned or original works for $20-$25 U.S.
After all ,who wouldn't rather give a piece of art with an inscription or quote on the back as commemoration to keep instead of a generic card.These have become very popular ( see FeSTARvity) and I am having a bunch of fun with them as well.
