My new painting this week is entitled First View.
This painting layers a Hawaiian map, text, Wood Icing, olivine, mica, and acrylic on a teeny-tiny stretched canvas.

Also, Daphne and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the wonderful wishes and
encouraging comments left last week after her diagnosis of chronic bronchitis.
The veterinarian’s aim was to break the coughing cycle, reducing the coughing by more than 70-80% and to reduce the severity of the coughing fits. Well I am pleased to report that the Prednisone and bronchodilator definitely opened up Daphne’s airways and the coughing fits have nearly disappeared! I told the veterinarian that she is 90% better, and we have a follow-up appointment this week with the doctor.
No more coughing in the night, and my sweet Daphne is nearly back to her old self!

Daphne's been enjoying this week's record-breaking high temperatures in St. Louis!
Last week, too, I saw many other artists posting their 2012 words.
But it seemed so daunting to me to choose only one word for the entire year.
Then yesterday I read Layla's Word of the Year post on The Lettered Cottage.
After reading this post, the first word that came to my mind was flow.
Don’t get me wrong, I love lava flow and anything having to do with volcanoes and geology.
But could flow work as a word that would serve as a guide as I make decisions throughout the year?
My curiosity got the best of me, so I looked up flow in the dictionary.
As a verb it means:
– to move or circulate, rise, abound
– to proceed smoothly and readily
– to have a smooth continuity
– to hang loose
– to bend under stress without cracking or rupturing — used especially of minerals and rocks!
And as a noun it means:
– a smooth uninterrupted movement or progress <a flow of creative ideas!>
– the direction of movement or development <go with the flow!>
So with that said, I mean read, the Word of the Year I have chosen is flow!
