I love all of your fabulous faces! Bird on a wire reminds me of the Anne Lamott book Bird by Bird - ever read it?

Hugs,

ReplyDeleteI love that quote.
Love it love it.
Oh and the art pieces are pretty neat too.

I haven't been by because I thought you'd migrated to tumblr and I'm a bit of a techno slug.
ReplyDeleteDitto on I love the faces and you seem to have so much fun. It always sounds so deliciously spontaneous and I love that it trails off in surprising directions.
I love that your art is so eclectic, there is painting and stitching. And of course who doesn't love a line from Leonard Cohen.
My new year's resolution is to try and have as much fun as you. Help! What are your secrets??!
realy very sweet !

ReplyDeleteHi Lynne! Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Super Solstice! Looking forward to the return of the sun........although I'm also enjoying these long mornings, waking up so slow with the lightening of the day.
ReplyDeleteWanted to pop in and wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas. Best wishes in 2011.

I love all the pieces you have been making. The black haired girl is wonderfully eye catching.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas dear Lynne, so happy you have days full of things you enjoy.

The painting of the woman in the stripey trousers is, I think, by Suzanne Valadon; her life story is fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI came here from Spiritcloth, and am very glad. Thank you.
Happy New year..love your painting of the black haired girl...Christmas blessings...too.
ReplyDeleteLove! I also love Susanne Valedon's drawings. I can't find any on the internet for some reason but remember how taken I was with them way back at school. (A school library book). Now that was a long time ago!
ReplyDeletedear lynne! i love seeing all these different parts of you and your world, the quotes, your faces, your stitching and especially your heart.
