Spirea Falls

Irish Blessing:

May the blessing of the rain be on you—

the soft sweet rain.

May it fall upon your spirit

so that all the little flowers may spring up,

and shed their sweetness on the air.

May the blessing of the great rains be on you,

may they beat upon your spirit

and wash it fair and clean,

and leave there many a shining pool

where the blue of heaven shines,

and sometimes a star.

Sheba's Room

My cat, Sheba, lives outside mostly, but if she lived in the Matrix, this would be a projection of her residual self-image: princess-diva!

Plein Air

This was really fun to make! The pieces of the collage are all photos I took of things around my house. The painting in the background is in the Cummer Museum of Art in Jacksonville, FL. I'll have to go back there soon and get the title and artist's name. I love going there!

Flowers Say "I Love You"

I always wanted to be an interior designer. When I finally finished decorating my house, I started making up imaginary rooms. It's a lot cheaper than redoing my house. ;)

The rose topiary in the reflection is real; i.e., it's a photograph of a real silk flower topiary about 4' high~ one of four I made for my daughter's wedding. They used so many faux roses that I cleaned out every craft shop in the area! It was a "fairy tale wedding". Lucky for me, I still have the topiaries in my house.

Chihuly Water Garden Fantasy #3

A little butterfly extravaganza to say ~Happy Spring!

Better than anything surreal that I could ever come up with~ the reality of Christ rising from the dead! He is alive forever. Happy Easter!
