SOMETHING TO KICK START THE WEEK ......

MOSAIC MONDAY

I could'nt resist photographing this beautiful cherry blossom outside

 St. Edmunds Church in Rochdale.

I've added snapshots of two canvasses we bought in Porec, Croatia in 2006.

     On the 13th August, which happened to coincide with my birthday

all the artists came out of their studios and displayed their work on the streets and walls of the buildings.  It was a fantastic sight and Philip bought me these lovely pieces which are worked in gesso, oil and embellished with lace.

 Another piece of art we bought while at Lake Garda, Italy

is this cello worked on hardwood again using gesso and oils

 Thats a little peek at some of the wonderful artwork in our home.
