"Speak Softly And Carry A Big Paint Brush, Bridget!"

Curating was fun while it lasted...

 Well, good Saturday Morning on another sleepy, dusty, delta day, all bodies!

Some rain would be nice!
One of the really great things I loved about curating at City Hall in Covington was all the wonderful art I got to see and discovering the artists that created them. One of those was Bridget Jarvis, who indefatigable spirit shined through everything she did and everyone she met. I only got to spend a few moments with her over the last few years, but had the chance to speak with her, at length, when she rolled on in with her paintings and the "HueDats" about her disability, her art and her perspective on life.
I was told about a week ago that she passed away leaving a hole in the hearts of everyone who was lucky enough to have made her acquaintance. Speak softly and carry a big paint brush up there in the heavens, Bridget.
No cups, yet!
