A Poem to Childhood

Do you have a flower that symbolizes your childhood?  For me it would be the Trillium.  The white version of this beautiful wildflower grew wild in the woods new my childhood home.  All summer long we used to play in those woods from breakfast until dinner.  I saw some beautiful etchings of trillium at a local gallery yesterday and they wouldn't leave me alone until I painted one today.   I'm not a writer so this is my Poem to Childhood.

Thinking of Van Gogh...

 

Last week was Vincent Van Gogh's birthday and in honor of that I decided to do a room painting - his room painting is one of my favorite all time paintings...

yoga t-shirt design

So I've had this yoga t-shirt design in mind for quite awhile.  Inspired by one of my favorite yoga poses (tree pose - of course).  I wanted a shirt I could wear to my yoga class but the ones I found at our local co-op were all around $35.00 and I didn't want to pay that much so I designed my own and made it on Zazzle.  It's available in the colors shown here plus a pink one I just added...  The bottom multi color one is the original design - then I added the various tints with Picassa.  I chose the sepia tone one for myself and am getting it printed on a gold colored t-shirt...can't wait to see what it looks like!

Morning Ritual

This is my ode to my favorite morning ritual.  Every morning my friend and I go for a walk and when we come back my husband has lattes made for us - it always tastes good but especially on these frosty cold mornings...ahhhh.....
