Black Iris, Sold!

Sorry!! Sold!!

My Black Iris sold yesterday, 

to a long time friend and

Painting collector..

I know that I am best known for my mixed media

art work...

Black Iris 12 x16 on canvas

But I do have collectors who really love my

Paintings

 

This collector has 3 of my  paintings..

this one will be varnished and gallery hung

before it makes its way to her..

I know that many people 

are stretched 

financially these days and have heard

this from collectors as well

as other artists who have

been waiting for sales..

Which makes this sale 

all the more sweet...

Sending Happy Solstice greetings

to all who celebrate!!

Ciao! Ciao!

Where Light and Shadow Meet

Well dear ones..

I am not working much.. I don't know

about you

but there are so many things to 

do around

the 

holidays..

and I always think that we should take

advice from the deciduous trees and bushes 

and just percolate..

and allow new ideas and concepts

to flow in and saturate

our being.....

Where Light and Shadow Meet


but I have been piecing together my new
work for the next

Excavations

Collection.. 

and this is the only one closest 

to being 

finished...

when it is ready I will have photos..

but for now..

this will have to suffice

I am sending my best 

Holiday wishes out to you..

there are so many Holidays at this time of year..

so enjoy ..

and take some time for yourself

A Bridge Too Far

 

Ciao, my dear readers and viewers...

If you have been following me for

sometime.. you may remember 

my 

Excavation Series

A Bridge Too Far

It was quite a lovely show.. here in Fort Collins

I have been quietly working on another

grouping of this series..

and you will have photos soon..

but I wanted to let you know 

that this piece..

A Bridge Too Far

A Bridge Too Far

has been selected by a French Company for a book

cover that they will publish..

I am so happy to have my work supported in this way..

and to be recognized in this way..

So thank you so much 

I am so very appreciative of

all of you..

and feel very, very 

grateful.

Red Stitches... and Excavation News!

Happy Holidays dearhearts..

we had a splendid thanksgiving..

peaceful and quiet...

we did get some snow.. just a dusting...

but some precipitation at least and we hope for more this week..

we will take all the dustings we can get!!

In between wrapping, shopping writing thank

you's to collectors and baking..

I have found a bit of time for 

some stitching..

mostly Red, black and white..

and they are not decorative,

but mostly anchoring stitches..

I have been very gentle with this piece,

as there is a very old piece of paper at the 

center and I want it to lay flat and

not be disturbed..

I am excited about the possibilities of

this piece..

I am also thinking of starting a few new pieces in my 

Excavation 

series..

if you remember..

it was from Ripped and Torn..

Ive been thinking of some new ideas and perhaps mixing 

different elements..

A piece from my Excavations series

I want to relax and enjoy the Holidays this year..

and hope you feel the same.. 

but I will find time to work on my new 

pieces for my

Ripped and Torn 

collection!

Ciao! Ciao!!

So Grateful!!

 

Ciao my gentle readers... 

we are waiting for snow here in Colorado..

we need the moisture..

It has been cold and dry, but we are feeling only gratitude

for our family, friends 

and all of the connections that we have have made on line

as well as my supportive collectors

we send you all blessings

this time of year 

whether you celebrate a day of 

Thanksgiving or not..

you are certainly included in our thanks!

Demeter

She's Finished!! 

dear readers...

finally!

Demeter, Mother of Persephone 


She is acrylic on 2 " cradled canvas

 I had no clear idea of what she looked like 

 and had not  

done a collage

 in the past..

so she took much longer than I suspected 

she would..

but I am pleased with her..

to see her.. 

go to

Goddess Paintings

and thanks for stopping by the 

Lily Cottage!!

Ciao. Ciao!!
