187 Chestnut

Nothing like a winter's day at Mom's house. Bougainvillea blooming like it's in the tropics, bulbs in full bloom, child's table at the ready for a snack or art project. Copper pitcher to water plants and a multi-paned mirror made out of a window from Potton hilltop. Just add piano music and the artist just coming up from her basement studio, wiping her hands on her apron and glad to see you.

Thank you Barbara - what a fantastic painting coupled with a wonderful - and vivid - word image. A great way to start the day. Robin

What a warm image on this cold, dark day! Thank you, Don and Barb!

Oh, yes! There it truly was, imagined, arranged, and shared by such a vibrant spirit as was hers. Wonderful warm moments spent right there.
