Over the years I have collected garden paraphernalia but eventually the weather takes it toll on everything. Things get broken and colors fade. It is at this point these items usually get discarded. Well, I decided, not this time!
I went down to the lilypond, and I was in for a big, creepy surprise!
Beautiful lilies, but look again! Wow!
Lino Printing. A Kingfisher.
I seldom do lino printing, but I enjoy the process. The prints are exciting, because one never quite knows what results will be achieved.
The Heroic Poppy.
I have always admired the beauty of the poppy, and am intrigued that such a soft, delicate, flower has wreaked havoc and death in peoples lives by the opium produced from the seeds. The flower is also a symbol of remembrance of 20 million deaths in the first world war.
God’s Kitchen on Canvas.
I enjoy still-life art, usually the type with food and crockery painted in oils. However, this series of still-life focuses on the details of the food.
The Best Memories Are Handmade.
Long after the treats and presents have been utilised and forgotten, the cards remain.
