I usually post this favorite Easter painting, “The Three Marys at the Tomb,” by Bougereau.
When I went in search of them, today, I found that many other artists have paid homage to them, too. I will post these works, below, and add artists and locations, later. I want to get this posted, today.
I do love this story, and share it when anyone dares to say women are not fit to carry the message of the Risen Lord.
Maybe, someday, this wanna be artist can pay homage, too.
I texted my across-the-street neighbor to tell her she had company.
They had come from the woods behind our house, gone down our side yard, and across the street to visit.
After looking to see if anybody was home, they wandered on around the neighbors’ house and into the woods behind.
Since everybody’s having ham or lamb tomorrow, it was safe to take a stroll!
always makes me sad, but today, my flowers gave me joy!
Other flowers were in bloom, but these dogwoods stole the show on this Good Friday.
In our rural county, there’s not much in the way of craft stores. I found a booth in a local antique store that sells new and lightly used craft supplies! Here are examples:
There were lots more goodies! Laura bought an unopened rock painting kit for her grandson. We made a little trip when she was visiting last week! Here’s the building:
The address is 519 Main Street, N. Wilkesboro, NC 28659. The booth, Wilkes Craft, is #19. The proprietor is Allison Pinnix O’Neil.
We also discovered the portobello quesadillas across the street at the Cinder Bistro!
The collards were Laura’s!
for anything but photography!
The big screen is a large tv from my friend, Laura. We love You Tube art and craft videos, and when we’re at my house, in the den/study, we’ve been watching on a very small tv. We might as well set up an iPad.
Froyle is Froyle Davies, the first gel print artist that I ever watched. She turns her gel prints into fantastic collages!
She is a joy to watch! She is animated and full of laughter. Her New Zealand accent is icing on the cake.
I watched this episode first, today.
She compared three weights of Gelelf’s new image transfer papers.
They all worked beautifully.
To learn how to transfer images onto the gel plate, be sure to watch this episode. Warning: she makes it look easy. It’s not! I’ve had two successful image transfers. I’ll share them another time.
I’m going to try, again, and send you all good wishes if you decide to give it a go!
Beware the monitor! This is what I wanted:
What I got:
It’s beautiful, and I’ll keep it, but it’s not what I wanted. The search for June bug green continues…
I think it might be best to buy paint in person, if you have a place.
P.S. My Wet Strength Tissue arrived!
with the bestie, helping her at her mom’s place.
The details of which I cannot relate, for the hour, my dears, is much too late!
For now, I’ll share some photos I took during the Golden Hour:
Goodnight!
My best friend is visiting with me, today. We had a lovely dinner at Roselli’s on 10th in N.Wilkesboro, NC. This was our view out the window.
In truth, there was a light wire between the window and the tree. I used Chatgpt to remove it.
