Through The Tear We Rise

 

Ciao!

Gentle readers!

I have finished a new piece in the Ripped and Torn series 

It’s concerning freedom…

And our inalienable rights given to us 

Through our constitution..

We are at a point where we must all stand for

Our freedom…

To see this piece, and the two other pieces

In this Series 

Go to 

 Mixed Media gallerie,

Felice Primavera!

Salve, dearhearts!

Spring has been dry

So no bugs or mildew…

The trees here are all pink and white

And raining petals

Everywhere 

And looking so bodacious… they make me swoon

And surrender to their beauty..

 

this season is about renewal..

And recognizing beauty..

I’ve done precious little studio work.. 

it’s the last holiday week…

 however I have two

Mixed Media pieces and two paintings and just finished

A drawing ✍🏻 if you are following me on any of the

Meta sites…

Sending you all my wishes for a lovely holiday

May we all be well and joyous

Which is my definition of

Creative Resistance..

Textile Art

 

Ciao dearhearts!

I have just hfinished my two textile pieces that I have been hand stitching 🧵 

These textiles are a mirror for the climate today,

for everything that has been going on..

The Beauty That Remains

Is the piece above and

Crossroads 

Below…

Both pieces are mixed media and are completely 

hand stitched and framed in black wood frames and 

glass..

If you are interested in them please go to

my 

Textile Gallerie

XOXO 

Early Spring..

Well gentle readers..

it is a bit early for 

Spring flowers...

but here we are!!

my tiny crocus are popping up

everyday... and I may have to paint them

the color is so sweet...

and I shot this little video of a very hungry little bee...

 

So enjoy a moment of Zen...

I am painting, sewing, drawing and ripping and tearing papers..in the studio..

and I will have more things

ready to show you soon!

as always, many thanks for

stopping by the 

Lily Cottage!!

Ciao, Ciao!!

Works in Progress

Ciao gentle readers..

I am working on two paintings.. this one of my daisies

From last years garden

And a Goddess painting of

Diana.. she is not ready for show yet..

The first photo above taken yesterday and

the one below as I started.. so.. making progress 

but most people have no idea how long fine art takes

To finish

 And I shared this bottom textile with you

On the last post, but this latest photo is

stitched in .. though still in process

• 

 Black on black is hard to photograph but

Hopefully you can see the progress..

The garden is taking my time already because global

warming is make things green up too fast

But I am trying to balance art

And garden…

Slow Stitching New Work

Ciao my dears! 

We’ve had the driest year here

On the Front Range..

We are getting ready to cut things back

And Don has been hand watering trees and

bushes but it’s bad for plants and people and we’ve 

had Red Warnings 

every time the wind blows..

But .. I am at work in the studio daily..

And stitching slowly..

Slow stitch is such a blessing in our frazzled world

Stitch and stitch out..calms the mind and

Invites Hope.

 I decided to work small on this piece and have started 

Another small piece as well and you will see that

soon..

Not sure where it is going..

But sure it will tell

Me.

Detained and Survior

Ciao gentle readers…

I have a couple of sketches for you 

As well as several unfinished works..

Detained

But they will wait..

Survivor

These are my sketches.. one has been detained 

And one has survived.. there is

So much trouble in our world today…

But art allows us to cope…

I will share my WIPS with you soon dear ones.
