I've adored the maltese cross for years. I wear one every day. I play with the image often in my work, and you've seen it show up in my own carvings and my rubber line. Because I tend to be linear, and literal, I never considered the 45 degree variation of the "+" to make it a "x". You'll see I went nuts experimenting with my new perspective. Anytime I discover a form or shape I invest a little time making new tools....
And more unfinished pages....sometimes it just feels good to get something started on the page. It's a process to make additions to a painted background....it can take days to complete, or it may always stay as an experimental background.
I'm taking an a quick trip home to see my sister. Squeeze your eyes tight and spin those positive vibes and prayers our way. Take a deep breath and appreciate what your healthy lungs can do. Shout and sing on the 4th of July....because you can. And never forget to wink and whisper sweet somethings to your loved ones. xoxo
