DO YOU HEAR THE SWEET MUSIC?



SWEET TUNES 
HOLLYWOODS FARMERS MARKET
6" x 6" pastel
$295 + $15 insured priority shipping


A fog greeted me as I peered out the window this morning.

Dismal? 

No, for the day took me away to a memory a short time ago. 

The day was similar with an overcast, bland sky
and my excitement grew for I was traveling to the 
Hollywoods Farmers Market. 
The bustle, colors, sounds, smells and people. . .
such a feast for eyes!

As I walked, I heard the sweetest yet soft melody from afar. 
Ahead was a man sitting in the middle of the street.
Oblivious to the crowd, he softly played the flute. 

And the fog cleared and my spirits soared!

    Nice pastel. I love the way you took the ordinary road blocks and turned them into a colorful background. Nice figure too!

FRIDAY BREAK

2 + A HOLE 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square white archival matte, glass + gold leaf frame PRIVATE COLLECTOR It's been a long week getting everything together for the opening of Frayed , so decided I needed a sweet treat to chill out. Nothing like a frosted donut which is always so yummy! When I was young my Mother used to make homemade donuts, which is indescribable. At that time my sister and 3 brothers fought over the "holes", which were a perfect one-bite affair that always melted in our mouths. Those were the days!

MEMORIES AND FAVORITES

DIGNITY pastel SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR After the holidays, I begun to reminisce of people from my past.    Reflecting, I realize that life experiences have  enriched me greatly in so many ways.  Dignity is not only of a friend I lost touch with,  but also a personal, favorite painting that went to another home. Fond memories.... gone but not forgotten.
