A couple miles from Boston Marathon’s finish line in front of Boston Public Library, Boston Red Sox was shut out by Tempa Bay Rays in the annual 11 O’clock Patriot’s Day game in Fenway Park. This year also marks the 100 year anniversary of Fenway Park.
Overall, a tough day for Boston Marathon runners, hometown boys and any icebergs still hanging around in the Atlantic.

“Spring, its softness is disarming and its light comforting” – A Painter’s Note In Spring and Selected Paintings
By Sophia Yee, painter and poet
Spring allows me to express myself fully and freely in a dynamic movement of colors,shapes, lines, light and shadows and to capture the essence of the moment and perhaps the light and shadow that raises me from a sinking mood and a dead spirit. Spring speaks in a unique language that I am eager to learn and digest, to succumb to what is necessary in order to have a meaningful dialogue within the framework of the existing time and space. It is my desire to recreate a time and space in the forms of my canvases; to rediscover and reconstruct a new and to retrieve a ground that I am intent to gain. It is also an opportunity to unveil the mystery and to submit to the self to minimize the feeling of longing, losing and belonging and to come to understand the pain, the joy and the dreary.
