A short drive south from Tucson, historic Tubac, Arizona is widely known for its lively arts scene, and was this year honored with first place in the USA Today Best Small Town Art Scene Poll.
Exciting that Moon of Fledgling Hawk, my latest painting, will be part of the Tubac Center of the Arts Members Open Exhibition, beginning tomorrow with a public reception and running through September 26th.
November’s first full moon, is known on the Hopi mesas as Moon of Fledgling Hawk. In the painting, a young girl, a fledgling herself, gazes upward in wonder at the star-filled sky and receives the blessing of a magical feather, a gift of guidance and protection.
Under the Moon of Fledgling Hawk
A young girl stops to ponder
To interrupt her silent walk
And skyward gaze in wonder
