Isolation Series: "Christmas Flowers"

"Christmas Flowers"
11x14" marker & ink on paper

There is legend surrounding the poinsettia flower: that of a child who wished to bring a gift to the special baby lying in the church crèche. She had nothing to offer but a clutch of roadside flowers. When she placed her homemade posy before the manger a miracle occurred: the white blossoms transformed into beautiful red ones giving the poinsettia the name “Flores de Noche Buena” - “Flowers of the Holy Night.” The story is a reminder that little becomes much especially in a year when so much has been taken away. A small kindness offered through words, a smile, and patience extended can become such a meaningful gift. 
May your season be blessed with sincere miracles - both large and small, given and received, this year.

Isolation Series: Red Berry Romp

Red Berry Romp
11x14 mixed media on paper


One of my favourite animal sightings this year has been that of the common rabbit, and in particular, catching sight of a rabbit romping about under the neighbour's massive sugar maples. Now that winter is here, I don't see rabbits so often, but I do see rabbit tracks on the snowy back trails where the frozen grasses are bleached blond and the honeysuckles' bare branches are strung with red berries for winter. It's a sweet, festive sight for these darkening days of December.

Fall has been busy! The art show in the Yukon has come and gone. My Isolation Series pursuit is ongoing but experiencing more interruptions these days. Tis the season!

I'm hosting an online art show/sale. For twelve days I will be posting art, hand printed & reproduction cards, and my homemade ornaments, for sale. Fifty percent of sales will be donated to House of Lazarus in Mountain, Ontario. They report a huge need for restocking the foodbank shelves with the reality of Covid-19. My social media spots are where I'll be posting items daily.
