Little Known Blogger Shares Small Flashlight

Floating in the blogosphere is best when friends stop by. I’ve only been out here five days, but by inviting the world to drop in, I’ve become aware that most of my friends get nervous exploring this terra incognita. Me too, but I am so curious about this place that I have stood up to my technology terrors. The crannies and codes I had feared turned out to be the portal into a magic land.
You have gotten this far and found our virtual salon - do you want to seize the day (as the fish on my shed door in the photo recommends) and put together a Blog Post of your own? The Virtual Salon will be hosting guest bloggers! Whether or not you are aware of it, you are so creative and I’ll bet there is a lot you would like to write about. Most of you have been letting me know in private that you would like to blog. Here is a chance to try it - but it needs to be related to your life as an artist or lover of art. You can include photos.
If you want to share your ideas with me privately, send me an email: Lillian@rockfire.com . If you want to share your idea with the other Salonistas, click on Comments just under the title of this post.

Questions: What do you want to rant about concerning art? What do you want to share about making your art or loving art with the others who come here? Does it inspire you to think of writing a post?

Tavern on the Green Auction in New York City- “Hey, that’s MY mural, yes THAT one, the one of Central Park with over a hundred horses!”
Any parent who has ever jumped up, waved their arms and wanted to shout from the bleachers, “That’s my kid!” will know how I am feeling. The child, especially if an adolescent, will probably be embarrassed. That’s the relationship that I have with my beloved Tavern on the Green mural. It will be sold off to the highest bidder and go to a new home – my own offspring – without any parental input. I want to go and shout out from the sidelines - but the hitch is, it isn’t mine.
How do you handle your relationships with your artwork once you no longer possess it? Do you hover over old photos now and then? To you ever want to meddle with its current life?
