Here is a little sitting area, at our home, ”The Painted Nest”. We use it mostly as a place to put on and take off our shoes. The chair, a vintage flea market find for $2.00, was in bad shape visually, but quite sound, structurally. So, The Muse was quick to grab this treasure! Upon bringing it back to the studio…it was sanded down~stained~glazed~the cane insets, painted a crackle white~the velvet green was painted with a hand-mixed fabric dye~and lastly, [...]

Spring ! She has burst forth Ever fruitful Ever bearing And all her beauty She is sharing… Amidst the cold And dark deep nights She slept In waiting For this, her plight… To linger with us But for a moment In time… Mere days To display Her greenery So fine!

There are always rooms and spaces at The Painted Nest which need some sprucing up. Our beloved cottage is in a constant state of “creation”. And I love it, I certainly do For me, color is my companion. So imagine my beloved’s shock, when this color palette was placed before him! Admittedly, this would be a new path for me. The Muse has creamy antique white accents throughout her cottage…but there is not a room which totally embraces the hue. [...]
Official snow count…40 inches. Farming is hard work in the best of weather, but in winter…the true love of the craft comes to light. There is no one else in this world that has my undying adoration, than my beloved. He rises at 4 am…and works most days till hours not fit for man nor beast. The latest snow storm was so massive, that he had to walk the West 60 meadow to get a tractor. Why? Because the tractors [...]

Raise your glass… Raise your spear… Lift up your voice… So all may hear. Be they raves… Or be they rants… Sing praises in sonnets… Or admonishments in chants. Roast those misbehaving… Who vex and cavort… Whose little stings… Of subversion… Put you out of sorts. Toast those visions… Who enchant and mesmerize… Whose poignant art Of caring… Will not be compromised. So roast or toast… But make your boast … Of those that passed… Your weekly path… Hold fast!

Here I sit. Out my cottage window is a winter wonderland of sorts…icy drapes, snuggle my evergreens. Here I sit. I long for warmth on my face…I long to walk in my beloved woods. Here I sit. I yearn to open my cottage windows and doors…to let the breezes flow. I dream of hearing the screen doors squeak…a gentle hello as I pass to the porch. My mind is swirling with the wonderful designs playing about in my mind. Here I sit. [...]

There once was a sofa…a sweetheart of a gal, who loved denim. Her favorite skirt was denim too…with a bit of tassel and fluff. Can you catch a peek? (Plain to see she is a cottage farm gal, what high society folk call~unpretentious. Then one day, she fancied a blouse made of suede. And her friend the Muse made her one, a custom fit…true to her form.It looks lovely on her, don’t you agree? While out and about…she decided she [...]

Brave Bird ~ Blue Monday ~ Image
BRAVE BIRD Hear my faint and tender pleas… Gently carried upon the breeze… I grow cold and the world grows dark… I can find no sparrows, finches or larks… The trees give me no shelter, no haven to rest… I search endless hours to find a warm nest… The first to arrive, I am brave, yes I know… But this little robin, doesn’t like the snow!

What process did you use? It looks like it turned out well.
I’m doin’ the happy dance with Sheila!
I think you did a superb job. I remember seeing someone who had done an entire ceiling this way, must have taken them a very long time and can you imagine the aching neck?
It’s gorgeous! I’m dying to know how you did it!
It seems to have turned out very well! Is it a secret or are you going to break under the popular request to reveal how you did it
?
WOW, Very nice i think you should take my name and be called TheMostCreative.
The paint shows happy feeling you should make more paints and show us because your talented.
I’m difficult to believe that is your creation because it is too beautiful for me
I wish I know Photoshop, I like it very mush. Nice work.
