I particularly like these paintings. The colors are bringing me joy today, mother's day here in France. That blue is lovely and those roses are inspiring me to go make my own bouquet. Mine are blooming nicely this year with all the rain we had earlier. Have a nice restful Sunday Cathy. ❤️
The pictures and stories this week (well, most weeks, let's face it) made my heart warm and my face grin and my eyes moist (as a mid-50s woman I know the drill: sad story=tears, happy story=tears, boring story about pension plans=tears) Recent days have been emotional and a bit worry-full so I'm so happy you keep trusting yourself, Cathy. Your Notes delight and move and genuinely help people. I'm telling you so you definitely know it.
Thank you for sharing your painting and stories - they are all delightful! I have an abundance of old books that I use for collage. I’m also just attracted to the colors, words, and typefaces. Bonus if they have illustrations. You’ve inspired me to make some of my own book page paintings. Yours have a lovely homey feel, with the promise of stories embedded.
Thank you Debbie - I will always choose the most falling apart old books and take them apart knowing they would otherwise end up in landfill. Enjoy your creative and bookish explorations!
I like reading that you are consciously acknowledging your personal needs and limits, all to the benefit of a better state of mind AND putting ideas into the universe in the hopes that having them out there may help them become more likely to happen. Your Fetch story is very charming, I can see it happening! Especially the dog’s bath afterward. Have a fine week.
Thank you Sheila, I am particularly pleased readers seem to have enjoyed the Fetch story, as I felt it was a decent attempt at writing after a bit of a slump.
Another perfect start to my Sunday. Thank you. I especially enjoyed the art. For some reason the paintings seemed a bit more detailed than other Sundays. Might just be me looking closer than usual. And I enjoyed the storied bits, too. When I was a young person, I almost always had a pair of red shoes in my wardrobe.

Many thanks Susan, enjoy your beautiful French roses!
