My Shamrock is Mint Flavored

Happy St. Patrick's Day!   I dropped and broke the ornate coffee cup in the photo above. My mother gave me it a long time ago and I treasured it. I stuck it in my planter box as decoration and amom-memorial and mint made its way to the cup and ... voila. So now I consider it in "mint" condition.   It's not a shamrock, but I think it's a bit of good luck.  Wishing you poetry in the clumsiness that comes with being human, and humanness in the poetry of life.   Watch for good luck, it's everywhere.   Art Guru, Danny Gregory and I kicked off a new season of his podcast, Art for All. We will be live on Youtube Wednesdays at 10 am pacific/ 1pm eastern and people who are there live get to make comments we can see and respond to. If you miss it, it's available wherever you get your podcasts. Here's our first go.. we've streamlined the format a bit for future episodes - but it will be a rich discussion that will help us all get through our creative blocks.      I have another Wild Abandon workshop  Wednesday, April 19 at 3 pm pacific/ 6 eastern on Zoom.

When I laid in a field of dandelions ... Art Prompt: Close your eyes and draw a rainbow with a pot of gold at the end of it. Paint it and then put it in an envelope with Art that Needs on Home on the outside and abandon in a public place.
