the rhythms of june brought me many wonderful things, not the least of which being my 50th birthday. thank you, thank you... i am so grateful to be exactly where and who i am... 50 years into this life! my husband gave me a new digital slr camera for my birthday.. a canon EOS 40D to be exact. my son and i took those hawaii pics with the new camera.

have i mentioned that artist brit hammer is working on another book, titled mosaic: finding your own voice? i have so enjoyed working with brit and getting to know her a bit.. ever since i submitted a few pieces in her call to artists. she will be using some of my work in the book...my rhythms series... and she requested larger pics than the ones i originally submitted. so i have been trying out my new camera on the series of six pieces... one each for january through june. i have managed to get a set that i think will do. i am really amazed at the image quality... you can actually see that the marble is marble. i am still learning, so cut me a little slack... but i think they are pretty good for a start.

so, here are the new photos of all 6 rhythms pieces... there will be 12 in all by the end of the year.
