I am going to pick up the art that did not sell at the silent auction. It is the second year that I participate in the event to raise funds for the Center. I am excited to meet with the staff and director. It is a wonderful organization, check them out if you are in Pontiac.

I have a desire to draw people. My friend Rosalia is battling cancer. She wears turbans which are great and she looks wonderful. I draw her with flowers and jewlwery, a rebozo. She is delicate so I turn it up a little. 
I’m working on drawing brains for an office. Very cool professor. Most of my summer is drawing and sketching. I need to get some sun in as I discovered that I have a severe vitamin D deficiency. Too much time in the studio, I need to move the studio outside.
I saw my art in a promotional video, below is the video featuring my “Zapatistas Tears,” with a filter, this is the O.G. painting:

I won an art competition at Lansing Community College. The competition called for Women Artists in honor of Women’s History Month. The prize was nice and I am excited to have won. I have had people come through and look at my art. The school is purchasing a piece, they are leaning towards “Aqui Vivo Yo” which is a favorite for everyone. I am currently working on a print version of that painting. I have friends who came through and I made a few fans. This is really cool, and I made an effort to get supplies and frame the pictures.
Okay so I hope that the Broken Woman Series would of took the prize, but that is okay. I met a lot of wonderful people at the Center for Engaged Inclusion at LCC. A big thank you to Ana, Anne, Michelle, Dave, and my friends and family.

I am grateful to Theresa Rojas who is a great artist and friend. She invited me to the show in Ohio, I could not attend but she agreed that If I sent her art that she would set it up for me. I love that lady!!
Check her stuff out at:
Dona Maria Luisa
She has her children in Honduras and she is a divorced woman here putting two sons’ through medical school. Her third son is in primary school, he is an American citizen who is very smart but is teased for not speaking perfect Spanish. He wants to return to the U.S. to see her, she had been out of work. She was not afraid, she would not give up. I admired her so much for her inner peace, for her forgiveness.

I am sketching Mary Lou Mason, who was inducted to the Michigan Women’s hall of fame. She made the suggestion to paint her in conversation, and I thought it was s great idea.
