Coming and goings

   
     Greetings,
     It's been a busy several months......
      I've taken a few small excursions,
     had my 65th. birthday with family and friends,
     finished up projects and started new ones,
     worked allot in our garden, and enjoyed a glorious spring,
     Let me share with you............


     I traveled up the coast on my way to San Francisco
      to visit a dear friend in Berkeley......... route one

   
         Living in a very small seaside village going to
         the big city is truly a exciting adventure........


     Had lunch here, so peaceful after all the traffic......


     Met up with friends on the way, and before I knew
     it was time to come home ..............


     Back down the coast on a new, almost completed
     bridge and huge tunnel clinging at the edge of the
     Pacific ocean, such a feat ........


        Almost home now........




     Back at home, remember this frog ? he's been fired
     and found a spot in my garden in a small cement pond .......


     I'm kinda delighted with him !


     The leaf bowls fired and found homes for as well ......


     They look so luminous with a little water .....


     This one I especially like and blends so beautifully
     with my smaller paintings .......


     I was very happy to finish up this larger painting ......


     And quite satisfied with the way it turned out,
     What do you think ?
     I'm off to a artist retreat in Santa Barbara next
     week and will share all the excitement
     next time, until then, BE GLAD....
     Wishing you happy days,      victoria

  2. I'm glad I have one of your leaf bowls! I treasure it~
    Its so interesting to see how you lay in your sketch for the seascape with is it black? Prussian Blue? What a gorgeous painting it is.
    I can't believe you are relatively new to hand building and have made that frog, and with so much expression in his face. Can't wait to see and hear about your special retreat. xxx
