What is a Slinky you ask? It is the longest lasting toy around and perhaps the simplest toy around. The creative person who imagined this helical spring name was Richard James. The toy was created around the 1940’s. It can perform a number of tricks according to Wikipedia including traveling down a flight of steps going end over end as it stretches and reforms itself with the aid of gravity and its own momentum. Robert James got the inspiration for this toy when he accidentally knocked over a box filled with miscellaneous nuts, bolts and springs. A spring fill on his desk and leap frogged across it. The Slinky and the inspiration for it is such a testimony to the imaginary and moving forward with an idea. Who would have ever guessed it could still capture the imagination of children 76 years later.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor the competition I would have with my brother I discovered the trick to winning the competition with him was to figure out how to place your Slinky just right so it would not stop moving and loose it’s momentum in its flight down the stairs. It was always a disappointment when my Slinky would stop moving in the middle of the stairs and my brother’s would continue down quickly to the bottom. Give me one more chance I would beg and he would. This simple toy would entertain us for hours, we would laugh and play and go down the stairs get our Slinky and start all over again. It’s a good memory, I still can see the stairs we used to play on in our little red house on Royce Avenue. I have traveled back to that house recently, it’s now painted grey but the same bottled glass is in the front of the house. I wonder if the strawberry patch is still in the back corner of our city lot, and if the patch of green grass behind the garage still has the flag stones we buried our pets under when they passed. So many goldfish buried behind that garage. I don’t regret going back but the memory changed when I did but at the same time others memories surfaced.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Christine Alfery","offers":[{"title":"Original $1500","offer_id":32026541719605,"sku":"","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Giclee $750","offer_id":32026541752373,"sku":"","price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/3679\/5445\/products\/somersaults.jpg?v=1601582520"},{"product_id":"springtime-thaw","title":"Springtime Thaw","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAbout:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSpringtime Thaw, 30 x 40\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eOriginal unique watermedia on paper\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eGiclee print on paper\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFeatured image in blog: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/christinealfery.com\/blogs\/blog\/melting-snow\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMelting Snow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Statement:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eI started this piece along with “Oceans Deep” in early November but I didn’t like where they were going.

There frequently would be fog rising from the river in the fall which was my favorite time to go exploring. I can remember finding milkweed pods opening and spreading their magic in the air, glorious colors, and mud.  Lots of mud along the shores.

I love paddling the clear waters of rivers in the Northwoods and Canada.  The more recent trip to the arctic and fishing the clear waters of the northwest territories I did some wonderful watercolor sketches of that trip and those rivers.

At the same time, I wanted to make the content also about connections our connections to the earth and the sky, the stars, the sun.  And I wanted to work with a new palette of colors.

We are on a remote lake in the middle of no-where in northern Ontario Canada.  The quiet is glorious.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLooking out watching my line my eye catches a jerky movement of a drowning dragonfly.  As the boat inches forward I lean over the edge to rescue the dragonfly from it’s plight.  Scooping him up I placed him on the bow rope to dry his wings and journey on and went back to daydreaming and reflections.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLate when I glanced back the dragonfly was still there – why hadn’t he flown away?  Perhaps a broken wing perhaps sitting there was enough for him like it was for me – savoring the sun.  For the next couple of hours I reflected on all kinds of things including the dragonfly and why he hadn’t left.  Perhaps a broken wing – one actually looked askew and awkward.  Yes that was it – he had a broken wing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eI thought to myself what have I done here.  Altered this dragonflies fate yet at the same time just what was his fate with a broken wing.  I personally had scooped in trying be the savior of this poor dragonfly and give him another chance when all I did was prolong his death.  What to do?  Finally I thought when I reach shore I will jump out and place the dragonfly with the broken wing on a tree at least he could catch bugs there and survive a little longer.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThen suddenly a gust of wind took the dragonfly away I gasped as I watched it drift in the wind – gone.  I remembered the time when my daughter and I sat down on the shore and watched dragonflies climb on shore from the lake – crawl to something they felt secure about and began to change from a water bug to a flying land bug.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDid you know that dragonflies actually lived under water during the beginning of their lives and then when their life cycle in water was done they emerged and became land insects.  They emerge and change from their hard water skins to something completely different full of color and softness.  The wings oh the dragonfly wings were so full of rainbow colors – so transparent so beautiful.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDragonflies symbolize change and one’s ability to adjust to change.  I reflect again at the dragonfly I rescued and who was eventually caught in the wind – and that time on the shore watching dragonflies change.  For both I ask myself – why did I feel the need to rescue that dragonfly – was it my good heart.  Was the rescue for me or for the dragonfly?  Was it to make me feel good or to make the dragonfly feel good?  Perhaps both – but I can remember when on the shore with my daughter coming to the conclusion that it was best not to be impatient with this process of change, not to give help to the newly emerging dragonflies, not to give them aid to rush the process of emerging and changing. Perhaps I felt I wanted to help because I was so used to a fast modern pace, perhaps I wanted to help because I was impatient to see the ending of their emergence and not sit on the shore all day.  But in the end we chose to sit there and just watch.  Not help and enjoy life and the day. Let the dragonfly figure out what he was supposed to figure out and what happened to them naturally.  To interfere would upset the cycle of life.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe same holds true with the arts – one cannot change and be something one is not – becoming an artist is a life style – and there is a cycle – it does not include others – just the self and the development of the self. The willingness to explore, discover and change.  That cannot happen until one builds the foundations for that to happen.  Like the water dragonfly that cycle needed to happen first and then the rest happens.  The same holds true with whatever one takes on in life– it is a cycle – it is a journey – live it experience it for yourself and don’t let anyone steal that from you if you do let that happen to you then you have lost a very important part of life’s journey and life’s cycle.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Christine Alfery","offers":[{"title":"Original","offer_id":32173650280501,"sku":"","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Giclee $750","offer_id":32173650313269,"sku":"","price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/3679\/5445\/products\/Emerging-Dragonfly.jpg?v=1602042016"},{"product_id":"dragon-kite-1","title":"Dragon Kite","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDragon Kite, 30 x 40\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eOriginal unique water media on paper\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eGiclee print on paper available\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFeatured image in blog, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/christinealfery.com\/blogs\/blog\/follow-your-bliss\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFollow Your Bliss\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFeatured image in blog, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/christinealfery.com\/blogs\/blog\/the-majestic-pine-and-the-squirrel\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eThe Majestic Pine And The Squirre\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003el\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eDistinctions:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2018 64 ARTS.

When I began, this was a black and rusty color figure on watercolor paper that I had a sketch of and was trying to figure out how to make it work like I had envisioned. I kept thinking,  “I don’t like this piece, I don’t like the way it is going.  I should just toss it.”   Well, I didn’t toss it and just kept working on it until it’s meaning changed entirely for me.  Somewhere along the way the figure got lost, then the original colors also got covered and it became a very very different work.  Ah the freedom of an
