Using Borrowed Time

Friends -
Susan Keale from El Dorado Arts Council (EDAC)
requested that I submit one of my pieces with a
representation of our earth and I thank her for
the wonderful idea. The April art show at EDAC's
ArtSpace Gallery on Main Street is bricolage and
a whole earth theme -- so here it is: "Using
Borrowed Time".
We are as a species, you know, fiercely bent on
consumption or destruction of our natural resources
and sometimes I worry for my grandkids and their
kids. At the same time, I have faith that if we
can manage to put aside greed and a quest for power,
we have the technology to protect this precious
earth. We could keep the earth as good as it is,
and maybe even make it better. But in the meantime,
we are only using borrowed time.
I finished 'Borrowed Time' last week, and it is
on display now at the ArtSpace. The full amount
of it's purchase will benefit EDAC, our local non-profit
agency dedicated to the arts. See what they do
at: www.eldoradoarts.com.
Enjoy this beautiful spring day.
