Daphne







Ciao dear reader!

I am working on a few things in the studio..

one of them is Daphne

my new story book






Yes she is the goddess who turned herself into a tree..

to escape the evil clutches of 

a creepy god..


I am also working on a painting ..
its a Floral..

and it is 20 x 16...



 

a bit larger than usual, but the photo was 

so magnificent that a smaller canvas would not have given it justice..

I am also tea dying and experimenting..

if you are interested in those things..

hop over to my 

social media pages..

link on the 

side bar of course..



Many thanks for stopping by to see what is what

at the Lily Cottage..

I bought some Calla lilies today

fingers crossed they live thru our frigid winters!
