He said, 'where did you get the idea for this?' I said, 'I looked out my window.' We live in such a beautiful area, the inspiration, it's all around us. Recent hangings in one of the newly renovated dining areas at Mt. Airy Lodge in the Poconos, Pa.
The owners of this painting are avid bike riders, they wanted a piece similar to my painting BRIGHT for their home - can you see the hidden bikers, riding up the notorious hills of northeastern Pennsylvania???
Yesterday I did one of my most favorite things, I picked daffodils and lovingly brought them inside. This morning they greeted me with their exuberant levity and color. I am so thankful for the promise of renewal that comes every year. So true that everything to be learned about life can come from watching mother nature do her thing. This silk painting 40" x 40" stretched is my latest piece - it's making me smile... a lot!!! ps. I woke up two days in a row to snow!
The last four people who have sent me photos of my work in their homes, placed the piece on their mantle above the fireplace with each exclaiming, 'the place of honor'. What an honor, indeed! : ) Silk painting now living in Scranton, Pa Maine house portrait now haning in Washington DC Silk painting now hanging in Kennsington Square, Pa Only these two paintings from condo were saved from fire in Philly, Pa
Writer Dawn Leas has a newly published book "A Person Worth Knowing." I feel so honored to have been asked for one of my paintings to grace its cover. Last night I read most of the poems becoming mesmerized by Dawn's ability to see the most infinite details in everyday living. What a gift her observations share with the world! Thank you Dawn!!!
Yes - that sums it up .... a BRIGHT AND BUOYANT 2021..... Love, Leigh : )
