I see this as a potential storage solution.I am not big on the clothing rod, but I think this would look cute around a bed/ serving as a storage- headboard.:

Light, subtle, shake loose the extra trims.

Change it up to an intellectual design style. Think more about the Aristotle and Leonardo layers of thoughts collected. Look deep and disturb, the given rules of decorating as pertaining to the rich culture of a collection of great and gifted artists. Thou may dine on earthenware dishes, it is the rich ocher color and the hand formed shape that make it a piece of art equal to the finest hand painted porcelain. Observe the details that create the whole.

It's all good.

Almost Out Of Watercolor Paper

Finishing up a "saltwater watercolor" this afternoon.

Thinking about my favorite artist, Pat Custer Denison, as this is the first time I have painted freehand instead of drawing the picture first.

I have only two pages, of my watercolor paper, left.

Kate Lewis is another water colorist that I follow. She seems to leave a lot of paper between her flowers. Me, I seem to crowd them together.

Is it finished?

It needed the extra dimension.

The sun came out and lit the painting.

Time to pack'er up.

Short And Sweet

I made these pillow covers before I left home.

Didn't find any new additions to the fence.

Picked this print up at St Vincent's.

The upholsterer, from American Craftsman Upholstery, pulled this rabbit out of the hat!

Not quite ready is the red naugahyde ottoman that we are having upholstered for the living room.

We bought a can of Sherwin Williams Dover White and painted all the mar marks. Touched up the appliances with appliance paint. Changed out the shower curtain liner and planted Amaryllis bulbs. Washed the front porch and entry and called it "short and sweet" or maybe a "lick and a promise". That's what you get for five days at Blue Bell.
