Painter, Poetess and generous friend


I was recently gifted with an amazing piece of art created by my friend, Suki.
She is also a friend to many of my blogger and real life pals.
Today is a dark, rainy mess, but inside my house this amazing art glows!


Here I've lit a candle to get more of the gold to shine.
You can't imagine how beautiful this is in person!
Some of you have seen it, I know ;)


This is what normally resides here. A wonderful tree etching I found in an antique shoppe. Brian's Rhode Island red rooster. A favorite ceramic urn, a wrought iron art nouveau piece, and a sign that lets me know I am blessed every day.
But I just knew Suki's art had to have this space.
It belongs here.
And I don't need that sign to help me remember just how very blessed I am.
I already know.

Thank you, Suki. I am overwhelmed by your talent and your generous heart.  When I count my blessings, I count you twice.

love,
Lo

  6. OMG what a gorgeous wonderful piece of art that is!!!!!
    And I would recognize it as Suki's even without knowing who gave it to you!
    It is just more than lovely!
    And how sweet of her to give it to you, but maybe she knew it would be perfect in that exact spot! And that it would make you SO happy!
