“Rain smacked Los Angeles. It splattered on the palm trees, sizzled on the neon, gurgled down the dirty boulevard. The town was sick. They hadn’t seen sunlight in almost a day. But I had the cure. A fifth of magic and a sack full of cold, hard joy. ‘Ho,’ I said once. It was enough.”

Def on my holiday to-see list.
The Kent Monkman exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is a real showstopper! Bold, beautiful and just so alive with colour and spirit! Very much worth catching!

We must take care of our thoughts when alone, and take care of our words with others. What we think and say matters. Be curious, open minded, and be kind. Rest well, my friends. 😊

I’m holding up my weird “splat” #fusedglass piece. It protested its identity as a weird plate by shattering in the kiln. Its true identity came out as this weird vase-like object.
