the juggler.
My life is a circus act. At times I feel as foolish as the clown; at other times I feel like I have the control of a lion tamer. But my most reprised role is that of the juggler. Each and every day tossing it all about — family, art, work, spirituality, marriage, self — trying to keep control, without dropping it all.

So calm and in control… I was just feeling pretty crazy trying to keep all those balls in the air myself this week. Your picture helped me take a deep breath and remember to say calm.

I love this piece, reminds me of when my son was five, he said to me “I have been thinking about what I want to be for the last year now, I have decided to become a juggler when I grow up.” I like that your piece shows that we all grow to be one and can at times enjoy taking it on. katy

I can relate to your juggling. Love your illustration of the point.

Oh boy can I relate to this one. I love this piece - your colors are perfect. And I admit that most days I feel like a clown. Clumsy feet and all.

This is a stunning piece with lovely colors. The colors are so calm and soothing in contrast to the message. I must admit I feel like that sometimes as well.

Excellent work Melanie. I like the colors, composition and especially the texture here. Very true and very well done.

Melanie,
I wish juggling WAS as you’ve illustrated it in this piece…graceful, elegant and rhythmic…and I certainly relate to what you’re saying… I’ve learned to juggle only the essentials…all the other balls, we can take out of the mix…as long as we have “time for ourselves” in the mix…we’ll be OK.
