Tea Love

"Tea Love" is my painting for this week's Daily Paintworks Challenge.  This week the challenge was to paint your favorite mug.  I bought this mug from a local ceramic artist and it has been my favorite for years.  I also put in my favorite vase that I got at the same wonderful place...  they both remind me of that sunny spring afternoon my husband and I went for a motorcycle drive up winding Chuckanut Drive that follows the shoreline up to Bellingham.  Just before you get to town there is this great store/gallery that features local artists of all types...it is one of my favorite places on earth.

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.

Be Mine...
