Tis the Season......Weddings!

After spending months planning their wedding, brides hope that their guests will come upon an article like this syndicated column which was in today's Morning Call as well as other newspapers:
How to be a Good Wedding Guest
I'll be a guest at my niece's wedding in a few weeks......I'll try to behave :)

Beauty Draws Her Beasts

I just had to share this photo of Philadelphia artist, Gina Deluca.  She seems to be tangled up in tentacles and tendrils standing in front of her large scale (6 1/2 feet by 4 feet) vivid charcoal drawing of two writhing octopii.  The work is entitled "Hectoctylus" for its reference to the single arm of a male octopus which, she tells me, has reproductive capacity.

Her charcoal rendering of large ostriches also conveys a sense of chaotic motion, with bird feathers literally flying!

I wish Gina good luck as she embarks on her new life adventure in Chicago.
