Since
you may be as tired of rebuilding posts as I am here's another spring
photo dump. I'd write and post about my art and work but I basically
haven't engaged in that since the house flooded at the end of August
last year. The few little feather pieces I did before the December
open house had already had their models made before Harvey. I've made
one model since then, one, in the last in the last 7 1/2 months. And
it sits still waiting. Too hard to concentrate on model making or the
rest of the process with ongoing construction. Hell, I'm not even
drawing, not even little sketches in the brand new sketch book with
my brand new colored pencils that I bought last December. I may have
to ditch the 'artist' nomenclature. Odd not to be drawing at least
since I have spent so much of my life sketching and drawing the full
size patterns for the etched and carved glass. I don't miss doing
that work, the etched glass, but I would like to get back to being a little creative. If
only the house would get finished. Still can't even get to the kiln.
I
have never seen the dandelions so profuse, the entire yard looked
like this
nun's
orchid
clasping
leaved coneflowers in full bloom in the mini wildflower meadow
larkspur
and love-in-a-mist
love-in-a-mist
german
verbena

gladiolas
One
last photo or two of the back bedroom for Sabine who asked about the
light. All the pictures I have taken have been from the same vantage
point at the other end of the room. There is another small window
that faces east that never shows. The etched glass windows face south
but because light expands when I photograph them, it makes the rest
of the room look dim so here are a few pictures taken about 11 AM
looking the other way.
The
doorway opens to the small hall with the bathroom on the right and
the closet on the left and the door to the rest of the house.
The house is looking great! I know we've talked about this before, but it's so interesting how your love-in-a-mist is pink and white, and ours is blue. I love that orchid!
ReplyDeleteI get blue ones too but they are rare.
DeleteOh, that room is so lovely and light! And thank you for the flowers - spring, color, anything living seems to be so far away here. I hope you get your creative mojo back. Dealing with so much upheaval must be hellish.
ReplyDeleteYou are getting into the end of the building. You will be so glad, I am sure. Your flowers are easily two weeks ahead of mine. I might post the dogwoods on my other blog.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of windswept daffodils up. That's their job. I've seen very few hyacinths, or any other spring flower. And the cowardly dandelions aren't profuse, either.
ReplyDeletemaybe you need a flood.
DeleteYou have a lot more flowers than I do and I love seeing the ones you post.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers. We just had two freezes in a row. Damn.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You're just in a fallow season - I'm sure that when the construction is over you'll be back to your usual creativity. Or not - and that's ok!
ReplyDeleteBut you have been and are being so creative in recovering and making everything beautiful and repaired after the floods
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful room, hope you will be able to move back in soon.
ReplyDeleteI will not remark on your gorgeous flowers because (ha!) spring is in full swing here, too. At last.
