INTO THE BATHROOM

(A study in blue and yellow)

 Thomas Aquinas said, "Sorrow can be alleviated by a good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine".  I rarely take a bath anymore, preferring the speed of the shower, but a leisurely bath can be just the thing to sooth jangled nerves at the end of the day.

An old model airplane silhouetted in front of an attic window seems to be longing for flight.

This old toy milk truck sits in the sun on a shelf in our den.  It doesn't enjoy the rough and tumble of the old days when children loaded and unloaded its cargo of bottles in home after imaginary home.  It is in retirement after years of good work in the service of make believe.

What is more fun than buying a toy for a special child?  You know that there is a chance you will open up a world for them that in some sense they will never forget.  This window is in Narberth at Character Development.  It is a rather awkward name for a toy store but the name certainly reflects the power of the right toy at the right time.

NEW BOOK: Postcards from Merion

For the last several years I have been painting small works almost everyday.  Sometimes they take two days and sometimes the life of the family takes precedence over paint, but that is my plan.  Because of this somewhat rapid fire approach to painting, I have not given too much thought to my subject matter, except that I  paint what I want to see more of and it has to fit in a small space.  But it seems, themes have developed.   I love the area where I live and many of my paintings are of the simple beauty that exists on the Mainline.  It occurred to me that others might like a collection of scenes from this particular area and so I have collected a group of some of my favorite paintings and it is now in print.Published by Createspace, POSTCARDS FROM MERION is now available from Amazon.: http://www.amazon.com/Postcards-From-Merion-Pennsylvania-Clearwater/dp/1491213353

This month the Virtual Paintout visited the Isle of Wight, off the coast of England.  I found this cozy looking group of houses on Arthur Moody Drive.  Looks like Arthur is customarily in a good mood.

This Johnson's Blue Geranium is one of my favorite perennials.

I love this shade of blue.  It is hard to understand a preference for one color over another but when I see this color it makes me feel calm and happy.  This particular shade of green is also a favorite, so all in all the Johnson's Blue Geranium has everything.
