Val Erde, an artist who plays with words and images at Art By Val Erde, gave her readers, including me, a lovely gift yesterday! Permission to use one of her paintings on our blogs or computers. I love the colors! And I think I see two water birds and a woman swimming in a wondrous dream…
Yesterday I spent most of the day rearranging furniture in the living room. Spring fever and inspiration from the book Living With Light: Decorating the Scandinavian Way by Gail Abbott & Mark Scott were the motivating factors. Too many books and bookcases! My muscles ache and I’ve got a migraine brewing (too many triggers) but I hope to finish the project today. Paring down… Fewer books, more open space…
Scrabble is down for maintenance on Facebook…
So, I’m off to visit a couple more blogs, pop a Zomig, roll up my sleeves, and begin again!
Many thanks for this, Barbara. I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
🙂
Feel better soon, and I look forward to seeing pics of the new furniture arrangements sometime.
It was my pleasure, Val! 🙂
Zomig, ibuprofen and a cup of coffee took care of the migraine, but left me a little sluggish. Spent the day sorting books – it’s feeling very good to purge and lighten the visual load. Passing on far more than I’m keeping… But I think this project may not be done until the weekend – underestimated the time and energy required! No turning back now!
Will try and remember to take some pictures!
I, too, see two birds and a woman. What beautiful colors!
Val – thank you for letting Barbara share your work here.
Thank you for stopping by, Laurie! 🙂 The colors are beautiful, indeed!
I first saw the colors – taken from the luminescent powder of a butterfly’s wing or a dragonfly in flight.
Yes! I see exactly what you mean, Aubrey!
I enjoyed this picture of Val’s tremendously. The colors are striking and the imagery magical.
I agree… I’m glad you enjoyed the image – there are so many talented artists like Val in the blogosphere! 🙂
