The Garden Remembers the Gardener

Ciao gentle readers,

A flower represents different things 

to all of us, each one has a different meaning..

they are symbolically 

important to us.. 

and to life...

Every summer, I toil in the gardens during

the morning hours 

and I often

I think about the ephemerality of the garden..

and the way it matches the ephemera of our lives..

the bits and pieces of papers and cloth

and how they compliment each other..

Does the Garden Remember the Gardener?

I believe it does..

the mystery of the relation is illustrated in my new collection..

to see the work on board and mixed media paper..

Auditions

 

Ciao,  my gentle readers..

I have been in the studio every day...

the autumn days are getting cooler..

and all our patio furnishings are in the garage...

I will have my new collection finished this week..

and I may show a few pieces at a time..

rather than the whole group at once..

The photos here are of the auditions that

accompany every mixed media collection..

it's like fitting pieces of a puzzle together 

and when I pull out the right piece

the art work seems to sing..

There will be mixed media on board and two pieces on mixed media paper..

this collection is about the mysterious connection that

the garden and the gardener have..

after all ....

the garden is a very mysterious creation..

I am looking forward to having this finished..

but will it really be finished?

I cannot say for sure..

also..

we have found a reliable and reasonable 

frame company.. so all boards and canvas 

can be framed in black or white frames..

Thank you so very much

 for stopping by and reading my thoughts..

Hayside Diptych

Ciao dear ones..

I finished my Diptych.. 

I think I told you that I was working on a painting..

but I didn't mention it was a diptych..

 

Of course they can be purchased separately...

but they look so great together 

I think..

These were taken this last summer just before the autumn when the hayfields had just. been cut

I love the contrast..

What's on my Desk?

Ciao!

dear ones..

I am working in the studio each day..

on a variety of projects.. 

I have several pieces 

in process..

on my new series

The Garden Remembers the Gardener

I have two pieces that are finished

but 5-6 pieces that I am still working on..

I just need to get our of the way and let them decide how

they want to be finished..

it's just a matter of letting go.. just like the leaves..

and below...

 

is a new tiny book of goddesses that I am working on..

I think it will be a charming tiny book..

built in an antique needle book..

The Series is scheduled for a November 1 

debut here and on Social Media..

the work is on boards and Khadi paper..

I started a small painting but I am not pleased and I think I will

gesso over the work..

it's basically my life philosophy

"Gesso over what doesn't work"!

well, dear ones.. 

may we all let go of things we can't control

and let them go,

as leaves upon the ground...

continued and
