Loving Lupita: Day 11

"Corrective Lenses" created on Polyvore.com by MeriMagic What if Mary had possessed a pair of magical glasses that allowed her to see the future --- every detail of the life that followed saying yes when the angel announced that she was the chosen vessel? Knowing her fledgling family would have to flee to Egypt, that her first-born would be set apart from others  and possessed of an other-worldliness and preturnatural gifts, that he would ultimately be hung by the Romans alongside common thieves. . . . would her answer have been different? Can we escape our destiny? If we choose to deviate from the path that appears to be ours, is the final destination the one at which we were meant to arrive? Just wondering. Loving Lupita

Loving Lupita: Adorned

Protestants largely ignore her, except during the Christmas season. . . . after all, Jesus had a mortal birth and a mother who gestated him. There's a nod at Easter to the mother who sat at the foot of the cross and anointed her son's body in the tomb in ancient burial rites. How left out she must feel the rest of the year.

Another Virgin to share for Rebecca's  A Virgin a Day Created by MeriMagic on Polyvore.com  Forgive me.  I know the Madonna of Biblical fame and Renaissance art was a humble woman without means but I thought she deserved to be fancy.

Share the Joy": Sunshine on my shoulders. ..

It's a bright, sunny day in the Pacific Northwest so it's pretty easy to feel the joy. But I've also been priming the pump by making art. I create some images just for contests,  like this one.  The assignment was to use at least three prescribed items to create a new image. It's kind of fun to put yourself to the test and see what you can create within the contest parameters. Some images I create are just for the pure joy of it. "Lovers Loved" created 7-9-14 on Polyvore.com by MeriMagic (Meri Arnett-Kremian) I'm planning to print it on either a 24x24 or 30x30 canvas. (It's not as if I'm lacking for art to hang on the walls, but this piece makes me smile.) How are you cultivating joy?  Celebrate it. Share it.   1. do a post that tells and shows what gives you joy.   2. capture the URL of the specific post and paste it into  the Mr. Linky box along with your info. 3. Vi
