Within the garden
A virtual bird
Artist and bird
They look
Each sees
One bright spot
On the horizon
Today is special for being the first day of another summer, another opportunity to plant seeds and grow good food.
This picture was done for another summer. Some summers are good for growing. Some summers are for waiting and seeing. Yesterday’s cup painting is a wait and see.
Meanwhile here is a last year’s picture of Maggie with a handfull of herbs.
Today is tomorrow’s yesterday.
Still time today to think about world … Colours, backgrounds, patterns that shift and change … So little time to do things perfectly … So we do what we can in the short time we are given
Looking back to what I did yesterday and the day before … And I think … An art project … Or a peace project … Can there ever really be a finishing point?
Don’t these things just go on and on … So how does one set a price? What if there is no buyer? Is it all just wasted time and effort?
What is art worth … What is peace worth?
I did this painting yesterday and as I look at it from today’s eyes I think back and for some odd reason I think of a brave heroine I’ve never met and I wonder about her … how she is … where she is and whether she would like this teacup.
Wherever you are A… I wish you well …
Peace, Maggie
Here is another bit of teacup art I did at the House. … That’s right I’ve yet to talk about the House … Well that is where my studio was until I moved to my new studio
Ok now time for tea … Yes a teapot full of tea would be nice …
The kettle is on … Yes I have started on a new painting. Hmmm well … We’ll see George … We’ll see.
Put down weapon … Pick up guitar
… or fiddle
… or banjo
… Or drum
… or any musical instrument
… any voice
… that sings out peace
This is the latest in a series of teacups painted at my temporary studio.
