The Three of Us

The Three of Us

Tulips are the most special flower because they

can stand alone like a soldier on a hill. When in a group they have

the feel of  being in a relationship like unto a family It makes them stronger and somehow

better at times. When in the light you can see the illumination filter through

the gentle yet strong petals. Tulips, just their name says enough.

Grand and Green

Grand and Green

This monster bug creeps along the pavement going no

particular place. He is led by an unknown force.

Why is it then that women shrek at the very sight of him.

Little boys love him, while little girls cring at first glimpse.

Roses Are Red

Roses Are Red

If I had a choice I would choose red. It is my favorite

color you know. My theory is that anything is better with just a touch

of red. The red rose is the most beautiful? Right?

Waiting On A Woman

Waiting On A Woman

He bought a single yellow rose and laid it gently on the table. A fragile glass was found in

the back corner of the cabinet and he reached for it knowing that she would

soon be home. His only thought was to tell her how much he loves her

and how special he knows that she is. His goal is to make her day and see

her smile as it creeps slowly across her face. The time creeps by as

he finds himself waiting, Waiting On A Woman

Aunt Lula's Petals

Aunt Lula's Petals

Flowers of all sorts were Aunt Lula's passion. I can remember going

to her house as a child and getting lost in her luscious garden. The tiger lilies are what I remember

 most. They were bright orange spider like blooms with shiny black seeds. She would

always let us pick them despite mama's protest. Aunt Lula's favorite

flowers were the ones with little pink blooms. The fragrance was outstanding. The view was

to die for but I what I liked most was the adventure while lost among the blossoms.

The Pumpkin Patch

The Pumpkin Patch

Have you ever been to one? A Pumpkin Patch?

There they are all alike yet all so  different. Orange, green,yellow, white. Any color you can

imagine. The skins are bumpy, smooth and when you feel them your hand feels the roundness

which is both firm and cool.

If you go out on a fall day you will feel the lift of your spirit as the air wisp your hair and

you hear the laughter of children picking out the perfect one for carving and grandma

finds the one just right for the thanksgiving pie.

Midnight Move

Midnight Move

While painting this I was thinking of someone special.

A friend of mine is moving. Her life will change but stay the same.

She will meet new friends but remember old ones. She will experience the

stress of a new job, a new home and a new place. She will be happy yet sad.

We will miss her. I read a saying on another site which I

would like to share with you now.

"When people walk away from you let them go,

Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you,

 & it doesn't mean that they are bad people,

It just means that their part is your story is over."

We will miss you Jill

Fall Delight

                          

                                           I painted this one year ago and thought I would repost it.

I can tell a big difference since I have been painting daily. Sometimes It is fun to

 look back and see the progress we have made. I would do this a little differently

now. I used to much white to lighten. Now I would use more concentrated color

tea. Also as a treat, grapes of the juiciest quality can be sampled and later

Berry Brew

Berry Brew

I am used to having plain coffee with just a touch of cream and sugar

but now it is time for adventure. It is time for something different.

A neighbor suggested some berries and a touch of mint.

Come and have a sip with me and we will make up

stories and laugh at the little things in life.

Little Blue Cup

Little Blue Cup

Thrift store finds are best of all. Sometimes they are cracked, but cracks add

character if it is something you want to keep. Sometimes you can imagine

how much these things were valued by their owners and why they were

discarded. But if they were not sent to the thrift store that would not have ended

up in this painting, this painting of the little blue cup.

Things We Love

Things We Love

Some people love sewing and making pretty things. Some people like to

sit back and enjoy the things which other people have made. I like both. I enjoy

the fact that I have always been able to make pretty things. I made my child's wedding

dress and her cake and arranged her flowers. I sing at weddings and funerals and I paint.

My life is good and full of the joys of this life. I bask in the things we love.

In The Dark

In The Dark

The dark is a lonely place sometimes, but sometimes it is a place

of quiet sweet solitude, a place to reflect and find your inner self. A place of

comfort and thought, the dark is the true place to find ones soul. Did you know that

the force of light is seen best when enveloped by the darkness. So if you find that you are

in a quiet dark place all alone, don't fret, just relax and listen you might just find out

something new about yourself, something you may have overlooked.
