Our art on exhibit at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore!!

So excited that our beautiful art is part of this incredible exhibit!!! The American Visionary Art Museum is such an amazing, unique museum; it's actually the 4th top museum in the U.S. and often said to be the one of the top museums in the world, so we are so thrilled to have our work there. They have displayed our work so beautifully; just so magical and wonderful!! If you're in Baltimore, hope you'll visit the museum to see our artwork and all the other incredible works of art there!

maison paulette, love this blog

still have a cold, so tired of being sick. winter is here, so that's part of it. the cold, biting wind and cold temperatures. i am not looking forward to the winter here, wish we could go somewhere warm. i was born in california so i am more of a warm-blooded person, love the sunshine and happy warm days. so somehow, hope we'll get through this winter cheerfully. would love to hear from anyone. miss getting comments on my blog. hope your day tomorrow is great.

Hoping to attend AVAM's opening of exhibit with our art!!

Hello everyone.....

I wanted to mention again that our beautiful art work is going to be in the amazing American Visionary Art Museum in a year long exhibit called "The Art of Storytelling". We are so excited because the museum (AVAM) is the 4th top museum in the U.S. and is also considered by many in the art world, one of the best museums in the world. So, to have our art there is truely an incredible, amazing blessing.

The exhibit opens this Friday, October 6th. We are hoping that we will be able to attend the opening night of the exhibit as many wonderful people will be there to see the exhibit. Rebecca Hoffberger has created the most magical, wondrous display of our Fairy Treehouses, Fairy Furniture, Paintings and little Forest Characters; noone has ever shown our work in such a beautiful, breathtaking way. So, we really would love to be there at the opening.

We're hoping that we can sell lots of our artwork (on our Etsy shops) so that we can pay for the flight to Baltimore (this Friday morning), so I'm doing this post to encourage any of you who like our artwork to visit our Etsy shops and see if there's something you would like to have for your very own! We have so many beautiful paintings, sculptures, collages, nature art and other wonderful pieces. So, let me know if you would like to purchase any of our artwork. You would be helping Mike and I to be able to attend the opening which we would be a dream come true, once in a lifetime experience! 

Thank you dear friends and I am so grateful that you visit my blog. It means so very, very much to me!

the poem of a lovely room

somewhere, hidden in a bower, bracken filled and flights of wings,
living there, beyond the eye's dreams.....a little person, slight of, weightier than a butterfly
yet silken and fond of sunshine, 
a little person, a friend of gentle folk and foxes of the forest.

moss laden footpaths, winterey and sleeping quietly as the forest speaks.
quiet sounds, far past any memories of solitude, wait for the woodsman, 
watch for the peasant milk maid 
for their lives are old and yet filled with stories

stories of old wooden doors, rooms of thick, heavy books and keys
whose owners know not where they arrive from.

stories of roads of brown, soft soil where wooden carts have fastened long trails
of familiar afternoons. i remember that such places find their way.
ready for the old trees lovely limbs and leaves to feather and dance lightly into the sky.
night falls, dusk and bending light and clouds, softer, more gray than that of fading coal

the foot steps out the unknown door, unknown only to the reader inside
this room filled with handwritten letters for stories yet to tell.

having just watched the endearing, lovely and singularly beautiful

film "Bright Star" of the story of John Keats and Fanny Braun. i have written poetry since age eleven. this wondrous film always takes me away from this world into a place that is divinely delicate and soft. hence my poem. i should share more of my poems. 

find a place that is quiet and serene and lovely, filled with some kind of old and beautiful history and the soft places of your soul will brighten and live again like a little child.

Beauty helps with sadness

a rough week, wishing we were at the ocean or somewhere else. do you ever have days where you just feel so sad and discouraged. we just are not happy where we are. want so much to sell our art more. would love to be a traveling art teacher. anyone have any ideas? at least have peace and happiness more from these lovely pictures. certain things do keep me going. would love to hear from you.

more great art
