Any other summer, but this one, planes would be packed to the max with passengers traveling to destinations all over the world. This summer we can only dream or reflect on places we have already been due to Covid-19. I made this stamp art piece a couple of years ago thinking the sky was the limit and we could go anywhere we chose.

Summer heat is here
And so are we // stuck at home
Hoping fog clears soon

Dreaming of destinations
Singing “Fly Me to the Moon”
–
Oh, I love that! That is very cool. Indeed some of those passengers packed on planes would be my husband and me if things were different – we had planned to go to Croatia! But hopefully next year

Love all your artistry, Dwight! Your stamp art, your writings, and your painting! I am flying with you in spirit! 🙂
Oh, I hope the moon doesn’t cry very often. That would make me sad. I love the moon! It brings me much joy! 🙂
Hopefully soon some real flying can happen again safely!
HUGS!!!

Thank you. Yes virtual flying is what most of us will do this year. I really enjoy doing a variety of things with my art. This summer it has been too hot to do any art . I work in my garage and with no air conditioning it is almost impossible to paint when it is 98 F. The moon painting evolved as I was painting and became what you see!
