The Market at Serendip offers some very special art for your consideration.
You'll find five works by local artist Brooks Michael McMahon. The most notable to me is the posterized painting of Roxy, the well-known fox who lives at the Ohio Wildlife Center. This oversized print is vividly compelling, and captures Roxy's half-wild, but almost domestic, personality.
Roxy is now priced at 30% off, as are Michael's other four works at Serendip.
Michael McMahon passed away unexpectedly on June 1, at the age of 52. Serendip now offers Roxy, as well as the other remaining pieces by this talented artist, at 30% off, as we want to sell the pieces quickly and contribute the proceeds to his memorial fund.
If you're a fan of exceptional wildlife images, or if you appreciate Michael's work... or if you simply love unique and beautiful art... please stop in and consider incorporating Michael McMahon's work into your life.

FIRST DAY OF SUMMER
In the Northern Hemisphere, summer solstice begins on Jun 21 2011 at 1:16 P.M. EDT. The longest day of the year, it's also considered the first day of summer!
All through time, humans have celebrated the beginning of summer in various ways:
Ancient Pagans celebrated Midsummer with bonfires, when couples would leap through the flames, believing their crops would grow as high as the couples were able to jump.
In Ancient Sweden, a Midsummer tree was set up and decorated in each town, and the villagers danced around it.
The Celts celebrated with bonfires that would add to the sun's energy, Christians celebrated the feast of St John the Baptist towards the end of June, and it is also the festival of Li, the Chinese Goddess of light.
At Stonehenge, revellers still gather to see the sun rise...

IN MEMORIUM
It is with great sadness that I report that one of Serendip's fine artists, Michael Brooks McMahon, passed away unexpectedly on June 2.
Michael's warmth, humor, and exceptionally beautiful wildlife art have been valued additions to the Serendip group. He also created popular clutch bags from woven recycled magazines.
Michael was committed to his children and family, his art, the Ohio Wildlife Center, and his dogs (in no order but mine).
I will accept donations in the shop for the Michael McMahon Trust, to help provide for his minor children. Michael's art will remain for sale at Serendip until further notice. Proceeds will go to the trust/family, of course.
My memory: Michael, as he was leaving the shop, quipped (with an ironic glint in in his eye), "Live creatively". I laughed at him then, but now I'm adding it to my personal philosophy.
Thank you, Michael. Rest in peace.
