Shops?

Hello dear friends...... I've put lots of new posts on my blog recently!! Be sure to scroll down and see all the new pictures and writings. I would love to hear from you if you care to write to me about what I've added. Also, I was wondering if any of you could suggest any shops that you especially like......that is my favorite thing to do......go to lovely and unusual shops and just enjoy the beauty and inspiration. Some of my favorite shops are "Nest" , "Tail of the Yak", "Bell'occhio" in San Francisco, "Burnt Sugar" in Seattle......there are so many others, but if you know any shops or galleries that are somewhat like these shops.....have the same kinds of unique and wonderful creations, I would be so happy to hear from you to know about them!!! I am so anxious to find some shops to go to..... especially in the L.A. area or anywhere near here if its not too far away. Thank you in advance!! Have fun!

Happy Day!

Today we had a friend put all of our information from our old computer onto our new laptop and finally we have all of our photographs of our art!!! I am so excited. Here are some of the photos!

The pictures are a little jumbled up......but maybe that's kind of fun.....

These are different little fairy chairs and beds I made and little scenes I photographed.

The pictures of me are fun; I'm not really good at having my picture taken, but these are ok.

And lastly, this is our beautiful cat Sasha, who we lost this year. My heart breaks whenever I see her. She was the most wonderful cat.....affectionate, funny and talked so much with her spirit. I miss her terribly.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day! Would love to hear from you! God Bless.

Opal Whiteley

Yesterday, an artist whose work I love so much, Katherine Dunn, told me about Opal Whiteley. I had never heard of her before but was so excited to find out something about her. Katherine said my artwork reminded her of Opal Whiteley's writings and sentiment. I thought that was so thoughtful and kind. It is always so wonderful when you are compared to someone who is appreciated and admired. It is so humbling and encouraging. I started looking up on the internet about Opal Whiteley and was touched by her gentle spirit. She was very sensitive and had a deep love for nature and an amazing ability to understand the beauties and spirituality of nature......it's connection to God. I feel the same way. We can find God so closely in nature.....such beauty and loveliness. I wanted to ask if any of you have heard of Opal Whiteley and if so, what do you know about her?? I am going to buy some of her books if I can find them and I am sure will be very moved by her writing. What I think is so terribly tragic however, is what happened to her later in life. Being institutionalized for her beliefs of being a princess......how can people be so cruel and misunderstanding?? I thought that was a very sad thing. I can relate to that very well because my great grandmother, who was from Germany and was a very gentle, sensitive soul, was put in a hospital and left there for 44 years as well. I am still trying to find her records to know more about her. I hope and pray that people will try more to be gentle to those who have sensitive spirits. I hope you will see Katherine Dunn's website and blog. She is such a gifted, inspired artist!! Try to find some beautiful flowers today and enjoy their beauty and little songs. God Bless you.

Incredible artist you must see!

I added a new link today for an artist that is absolutely one of my very favorites.....Katherine Dunn. Her work is so beautiful and childlike and wonderful. Be sure to go to her site and blog.
