Just love the bright colours of your first painting - its so evocative of hot sunny days and blue skies - something we don't get a lot of around here, so its so good of you to share yours.<br />Gill xxgillyflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410673843788487544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571340508841427418.post-79041269840984751322013-02-22T20:43:11.761-08:002013-02-22T20:43:11.761-08:00Hello Cindy

I am sure you inspire and encourage each other, it's quite wonderful. Your painting of the Blessed Mother, is very beautiful, so restful and calm. I love your Patio painting too, it is kind of the opposite, so vibrant and colourful.<br />Thank you for your visit and kind comments. I had a good day at the wedding fair, and I am sure it will lead to quite a bit of work. It's lovely to be back in communication with you again.

The mural on her patio is quite spectacular and one cannot find where the mural plants and real plants start and finish. It also changes with the blooming of her plantings.

What more could an artist want, than to have friends with whom you can BE STILL and QUIET and create such loveliness? Your very first painting, "Join me on the patio" is just gorgeous. I have never been one for yellows or reds, but since blogging and viewing other peoples' art and use of color, I have grown to be in love with the hues of life. Beautiful is your art.<br /><br />Thank you so much for coming to leave a comment! It really does mean so much to me; I will be back. I am taking a small trip to California to see family and I do need a break from planning blog posts. I need to sit down more to read and also put in more hours teaching. But blog posting is in my blood and eventually, I hope to write even more and even attempt to publish. But any artist needs a repose to stand back, observe and recharge!<br /><br />Happy day!

Being among her paintings in this setting adds to the ambiance. Her grandmother, now deceased, had a saying: "Tell me you want prayer; but only bring me the good news".(loosely translated from Russian) Violetta has embraced this motto and celebrates life in her quiet, gentle way. <br /><br />Thank you for your very special remark on my painting of the Blessed Mother. <br /><br />Have a weekend of joy<br /><br />Helen xxhelen tilstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791882664528962799noreply@blogger.com
