Eternity in Motion Installed..

We are home 

dearhearts.. and the trip was wonderful!

We got the paintings installed ..

and they looked fabulous in their space..

if you are interested in viewing smaller 

abstracts.. go to

the 

gallerie

They were 36 x 48.. quite large and yet the space is so large..

they almost looked small to me!!

They loved them and hung them right away 

which made me feel great..

it is so nice to be able to give

art and cheer a home..

I am back in the garden and the 

studio..

and will have a tiny book to share soon..

and as always

thanks for stopping by 

the 

Lily Cottage..

Eternity of Motion

 

Ciao my dears..

you may remember that I have been 

working on two large

canvas..

a diptych

The photo below was taken in my studio and did not give 

justice to the art..

I think the dimensions are 36 x 48

so I took some close ups after I varnished them... below

We are traveling tomorrow to take them on site 

and I will have some photos when we return

of the installation...

We are also seeing family and friends

and staying in New Mexico at Los Poblanos..

which is a wonderful Lavender Farm

with a Farm Shop and 

very fine restaurant 

in Albuquerque 

also..

Our Granddaughter is graduating High School 

and it will be a lovely trip..

I will be posting 

on social 

so pop over to one of the sites to keep up..

Thanks for stopping by 

have a gorgeous weekend!

Stitching Slowly

Ciao

dear gentle readers...

I have been working on my little brown book

for lack of a better title

it hasn't confided in me it's true name..

so you will have to be a bit patient with me on that

I am also putting a new Flower book together..

but you will have to wait on that..

its a tiny one.. and only about 4 inches fully opened..

 

and I am working on a new Goddess painting..

Demeter

she is Persephone's Mother

and grieving the loss of her 

daughter..

so I have been busy..

between the garden and the studio..

my days are quite full..

I will be back soon with some

photos of my 

new Flower Book..

it's a Tiny one too..

C4N!!

Persephone

 

Ciao, dearhearts!

Yes... she is finished..

My latest Goddess painting..

I am already working on her mother's painting

Demeter...

if you are interested ..

she is already loaded in my

Goddess gallerie

thanks so much for stopping by

and taking a peek..

Spring Time!

It's a gorgeous Spring..

we have had a little rain this year and some

much needed snow..

My trees are all budding and many have flowered..

My little Red Bud above is

having a great year!

This is little wayward tulip.. it just appeared one day...

I don't know how that works..

but I will take it!!

and I thought this tree above was a junk tree..

but it turns out that it is a Plum!

I spend each morning in the garden.. weeding, planting

and laying mulch..

We have four gardens here at the Lily Cottage

one for each facing and so it is a lot of work..

soon though it will be all grown in and blooming

and mornings will be mine again..

hope your garden is blooming too..

C4N! 

New Tiny Book

Ciao dear ones..

hope your weekend was glorious...

I had a few moments to myself at the weekend

and created 

a new Tiny Book

unnamed so far, but it is a sweet one

methinks..

The cover is an antique book that I cut down..

and I love the look with the 

binding from an old dress that I tea dyed..

and I stitched it into the covers...

 if you enlarge that last photo..

you can clearly read 1940 although the book was much older and probably

an Antique when it was purchased..

I love using old things, at their most 

basic and mundane level

and elevating them into my art..

that someone finds them lovely

is magical to me..

Thank you so much for stopping by

the Lily Cottage..
