Summer is Leaving -Postcard Friendship Friday #327
One of my greatest inspirations is the art of Alphonse Mucha, one of the artists who ushered in the age of Art Nouveau. I have based a few pieces of my own artwork on his wonderful pieces. I love the patterns he used in his borders, the graceful placement of subject, draperies, flowers and landscape. He is one of the greatest artists of all time. You can read more about this extraordinary man at The Artist, Alphonse Mucha.
I will be going in for surgery mid-week. I am so grateful to friends and family, as they have chosen to gather around me to keep the house safe while I'm in the hospital, providing transportation, cooking, and watching over me as I recover. I have been so touched by so many people.
I know there are those of you out there who have been praying for me. I am SO grateful to God for you. May our Mighty Creator bless you, dear ones. Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Memories
When my darling SissyDea posted this painter's work, I had to keep a copy. I have been working at my parents home for the past month or more. I see vivid ghosts of childhood memories all around me.It is interesting when one's mind superimposes the past upon the present. This artist (along with my sisters--you know who you are) inspire me to go further. To pursue the dream. To reach for the unattainable. How gracious God has been to give to me these precious sisters.
This picture makes me feel like weeping...so much of life has been lived. So much yet to live.
