Good Morning World.

Long time since I last attempted to make an entry here

on my Musing with Myra Blog.

Fingers crossed.

A week ago today, I launched my 1st Arts Networking

Event for 2011.

32 people showed up for Musing with Myra, which was

held @Uva Restaurant & Lounge, 6900 Biscayne Blvd.,

Historic MiMo District.

It was like a reunion of sorts for many.

The featured guest Artist was Leon Rosenblatt.

I have known Leon since we were 9 yrs. old.

I have recognized and admired his incredible

talent all these years.

I'm not the only one either.

In his 20's Leon was made Art Director

of The Miami Herald's Tropic Magazine.

He did the most amazing job while at

the helm there.

Collaborating with the likes of Andy Warhol,

who sat for a portrait by Leon.

He managed to get Robert Rauschenberg

to do a cover for Tropic that made history.

His presentation on Streamers, his new

body of work was wonderful.

The audience was interested and engaged

in what he had to share.

Installment #2 of Musing with Myra is

scheduled for Wednesday, March 16th,

5-8PM @Wynwood Kitchen & Bar.

Stay tuned for confirmation as to who

the Guest Artist will be.

In the meantime I'm experiencing

frustration @the moment is downloading

photo's from iPhoto.

So I am sorry that there are no visuals

posted @this time.

Practically every day, nights included,

I'm out there taking advantage of all

the Miami Art Scene has to offer.

Sadly, this past Monday was the

Memorial Service, or as I prefer

to call it, The Celebration of

Jon Spenser Eiseman's life.

Our dear friend Jon passed away

the very morning of my Musing

last week.

We observed a moment of silence

in his memory that evening.

The Celebration was a beautifully

orchestrated event.

The Chapel was set up with lots

of Jon's Art Work on display

and a most beautiful video

played on a screen accompanied

by music that Jon loved.

I like to think that Jon has been

set free @last...that his spirit is

soaring. God knows he touched

so many lives.

An amazing person and Artist,

his legacy will live on thru his

work and the memories we all

carry with us.

Yesterday, I had a send off lunch

with my girl, the Artist Evo Love

and her significant other Romaine.

They are getting ready to launch

their LOVE BUS all the way to

NYC for Fountain Art, a Satellite

Art Fair to The Armory Show.

Get ready NYC, LOVE is in the

house.

Today I will be going into the

Studio to meet with Stephanie

the Tai Chi Master.

Hoping she will impart some

Zen moments into my life.

That's the post for today.

Hope this finds you all happy

and fulfilled.

Make Art, that's what

yo Momma says.
