March Musings


“It’s lovely in the garden;….flowers suddenly light up in the evening.”
                                       Virginia Woolf

A gentle mid March rain has done wonders
      for the garden.  The rhododendrons, camellias, and lavenders are providing a blaze of color lighting up each evening.  The rain also provided an opportunity to work on an art project---cataloging five paintings by Vanessa Bell and then creating five art pieces....works on paper....to be submitted to the 25th Annual International Conference on Virginia Woolf juried exhibition The Mark on the Wall. 
It's been a fascinating process; mentally  conceiving each piece, carefully selecting materials and colors, and arranging each piece.  I found the process remarkably similar to working with my hands to plant and grow a garden.
