Feelings

We talk a lot about feelings in our house. Feelings hurt, how something makes us feel, what does something feel like. Apparently, Alice has taken it upon herself to draw her feelings. The other day we were upstairs and she found a post it note pad and pencil. I thought she was just kind of doodling, she then peeled it off, walked it over to me and gave it to me. I looked at it and asked her what it was a drawing of. “My feelings”, she said. “You drew your feelings? How does drawing your feelings make you feel?” “My feel better drawing them. My draw your feelings too! Mom, how you feeling?!” “I feel good… a little tire….” She set off to draw me my feelings! Here is the result.
She nailed it! :)

**Premiere Performance info**

November 16, 2024, Marci will be performing for the 1st time the pieces written for her by composer Daniel J. McIntosh. The pieces are set to William Blake’s “Songs of Innocence.” Never have all 19 poems been set to music before, so this is a performance NOT to be missed. Not only will it be sung, but the poem and art that Blake engraved will be projected during the performance.

Before and after the performance, there will be a special display of the pieces that have just been newly printed by Michael Phillips specifically for Marci and these performances. This is FIRST time since Blake printed them that all of the Songs of Innocence have been printed in his style of printing/engraving.
