The Children's Hour

 

Ciao dear readers..

I am back in the garden in the mornings and the Studio in the 

afternoon and I have just finished a new piece

in my new collection 

titled the 

Children's Hour

it concerns the annihilation of the people of 

Palestine...

This piece is titled

The Empty Bowl

and my series concerns the suffering of the little children of Gaza and 

I won't go into details because 

I am sure you have heard about the situation 

but 

I rarely make political art..

as you know I am an artist true to my Italian heritage 

I make beautiful things..

so it was difficult to do..

I chose children to state my case simply

and the graphic palette

to underline the severity.

This series is NOT for sale

it is for my own personal catharsis...

I often create work that no

 one sees.. but this was too precious

to keep to myself...

this piece is on cradled board and 

I appreciate your kindness at stopping by and reading this 

heartfelt post..

MAY OUR HEARTS TOUCH TOGETHER 

Ciao, Ciao!

Thank you!!

Thank you!!

I am so very grateful for my collectors!!

If you were a first time buyer, I hope you enjoyed choosing a Free piece of art!!

I certainly loved sending the work to their new homes...

I made chocolate chip cookies and cut some hydrangeas from my garden..

and after the Open House we went to an antique market and I found some

antique linens

and ribbons...

 

so I will be dyeing some lovely pieces to make new books..

Back to the studio tomorrow to get everything put away and 

and to get back to painting 

and to the process of creating..

Many Thanks and you all know who you are!! 

I so appreciate your support

on my Art journey!!

Big Love..

In The Garden

Ciao gentle readers..

if you have been following me for a while you know that I 

L O V E, love 

my garden.. 

and that is probably not as passionate a word 

to describe how I feel about 

Cut peonies waiting to go into a vase..

my garden and gardening in general

like the impressionist painter Monet.. my garden gives me endless 

opportunities to paint..

to draw and to imagine..

My peonies bloomed so late this year..

they always bloom by the end of May..

but they have just now bloomed, and while they were worth the wait..

I would have liked to have them bloom earlier..

This garden is our tiny back yard and the neighbors drive by daily because it

faces the alleyway that we share with 7 different families..

so I hear their comments and compliments and 

it is rewarding to hear them..

I have had so many comments on my peonies..

and phlox this year which was so gorgeous and made me wish I had planted more!

There is something so lush and elegant about the peony..

if I had more space, I would definitely plant a field of peonies..

I am working on a new painting of Demeter..

which is giving me fits..

and several tiny books...

 

and I will have photos soon..

but I am also getting ready for my annual

Studio Sale

Saturday,  July 12 at 10 am

for the in person sale, but the online sale will ruin

thru the weekend..

This year I am planning to give art 

AWAY..

yes!!! 

I will have a selected group of art

set aside that will be free with the

purchase of another piece of work

so you will have to keep stopping by

to see what I have in 

mind..

Thanks for stopping by and looking at one of the 

gardens here at the 

Lily Cottage..
