On Being Thankful



We're coming up to the beginning of what is known as The Holidays. I guess Thanksgiving is the first of them, but it seems that the stores have skipped it and moved directly to Christmas. I was the host for P.E.O. Tuesday night and discovered I was out of napkins as I was gathering things together. I ran to the only grocery store we have in our small town thinking I would purchase some cute Harvest/Thanksgiving paper napkins. Imagine my surprise and disappointment when there was not one single Thanksgiving anything anywhere. So... I bought plain white napkins. Then I looked at my artwork realizing I haven't done anything at all in the way of Thanksgiving or harvest. I have lots of photos of the harvest of my garden. I'd better get some of that committed to paint, don't you think?

Picture Perfect


As I mentioned before, part of the joy of gardening for me is the beauty which inspired amazing photographs- inspiration for further works of art. Here is a profoundly rich photo - one of my favorites.
