Four Seasons

By Eve J Blohm

Garden City, New YorkNAPW honors Eve J. Blohm as a 2013/2014 Professional Woman of the Year for leadership literature and art with this prestigious distinction. As the largest, most-recognized organization of women in the country, spanning virtually every industry and profession, the National Association of Professional Women is a powerfully vibrant networking community with over 600,000 members and nearly 400 local chapters.

I started doing my art in 1965, says Ms. Blohm. I recently created a catalog of some of my artwork that is for sale. Whether its peering through the lens of her camera or dipping her brush into watercolors, Ms. Blohm vividly brings images to life. From collages to watercolors to photographs, she enjoys creating art for herself and for others. The artist has recently tried her hand at working in a new medium, felt-tip pen drawing. I love it. Its like watercolor, only you use ink. Its beautiful, she said.

Suddenly, they were startled by the owl who hooted and grabbed the chest. So the owl won the argument of hoots, growls and howls. The hoot had the last say.

I was hooked on Faceook, Youtube, e-mail, LinkedIn, but I made a new pack with myself. I was going to listen to more music, used adult coloring books and stayed away from the phone too.

I made a new resolution mid way through the year that I was going to be more bold, firm, positive, confident and strong. I was not going to listen to other people because I also made more mistakes when I followed their advice. It was their dreams. It wasn’t mine. When I followed my own
