How do you define COMMUNITY, and are we getting to know each other more or less?

Hubby's I AM Present Series: "Cover" captures a quiet moment of protection — a man’s hand holding a brown hued umbrella, shielding a Black woman with strainds of hair crossing her left eye & cheek, from the rain.

"Bliss," a reminder 2 take time 2 find joy in life’s simple pleasures. It invites us to reconnect w/our childlike spirit & create moments of bliss, no matter the circumstances. "True bliss is found when we embrace the present, letting go of worry & welcoming the joy of the moment." #Art #MelvinDNix
Oil on canvas 18” × 24” painting by Melvin D Nix called "Bliss" The painting captures a beautiful young Black girl smelling an orange flower, her face radiating a sense of peace and joy as she immerses herself in the moment. With no cares or worries, she is fully present in the simple yet profound pleasure of the flower's scent. Her expression conveys the innocence and pure bliss found in the moments of playfulness and wonder that childhood brings. Bliss serves as a reminder of the importance of taking time to find joy in life’s simple pleasures. It invites us to reconnect with that childlike spirit and create moments of bliss, no matter the circumstances. Seed of Thought: "True bliss is found when we embrace the present, letting go of worry and welcoming the joy of the moment." - Melvin D Nix

Finding ways to maintain sanity by taking in more art exhibits in the midst of all the chaos forced upon human beings who are just trying to live in these now Fractured States of America.

Sculpture by Jon Norris made out of junk. Masterful IMHO

Hubby competed in #Artfields Portrait Competition, didn’t win a cash prize, won in ways that matter most—by showing up, putting himself out there, & embracing the experience.

My first time creating a #Kolam #Art piece on a ceramic tile. Hubby and I attended on of our art friend's meditative sessions and it forced us to focus on what we were doing in the moment. I am not the Artist, but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Hubby nailed it of course.
Hand holding a blue pencil over a white piece of paper after making a series of dots for a Kolam art project. A series of white dots on a painted orange ceramic tile for a Kolam art project. A little fuzzy photo of a finished Kolam ceramic tile that was painted orange with purposefully positioned white dots. The dots are interconnected by a continuous green line. The image looks like one beedy-eyed frog looking to the right with another sitting on top of it while looking left. LOL Kolam art project using a purple painted ceramic tile with a goldish painted design around the purposefully positioned yellow dots.
