I was so happy to see the return of “Small Town Green” to the grid. Just as in the past, change happens often and it is so much fun to explore to see what is new and changed.

.. art auction benefiting RFL ..

Art is the desire of a man to express himself,
to record the reactions of his personality
to the world he lives in.

The Inspired Dreamwalkers are a Relay For Life team in Second Life. This team has been active for several years and annually present silent art auctions to raise linden for Relay For Life of Second Life. As you might know, Relay For Life is the premier fundraiser for the American Cancer Society and has had a presence in Second Life for 12 years. Their team captain, JT Marchant, honored me by asking if I’d submit a couple of pieces for their art auction that starts today (April 8, 2016) at 9am SLT (PDT). There are many pieces to be bid on and the bidding will close on Sunday (April 10) at 3pm SLT (PDT).

Live entertainment is planned for opening day:

Friday 4/8 – 4pm SLT – Whirli Placebo
Friday 4/8 – 5pm SLT – Eliz Watanabe

Drop by Dancing Swan Island and remember to win an auction, you must bid early and often so that you can get the piece that you desire. There are some beautiful pieces available from some of the wonderful SL photographers/artists you know.

The two pieces that I’ve donated were created exclusively for this event. Both were recently captured at Everlong, a lovely sim for relaxing and snapping pics.

I hope you will stop by the auction and find a piece that will look perfect on your wall! Or just drop a few linden in a kiosk to support this awesome group of people – the Inspired Dreamwalkers.

A day comes in the springtime
When Earth puts forth her powers,
Casts off the bonds of winter
And lights him hence with flowers…

the Farmer, the Nature-teacher, the Naturalist, April 1902
