Here are a few words from Michelle regarding her art work:
I use to paint as a teen and now I find it very enjoying and relaxing again after many years away from it. I hope to improve as I go along with more paintings. Here is one I did just last weekend where I attempted painting again after so many years. This is the beginning of hopefully several more to paint in the near future. My daughter got me paints and brushes for Christmas so I’m giving it a try again although I’m a little rusty at it now. ~ Michelle

OF SWEET SERENITY
Upon mirrored glass
of an afternoon,
subtle reflections of peace
fill my heart,
as tracing the path
that brings me here,
I find those places
thought hidden away
and forever lost to me.
But the stillness
of this moment
and the whispering
of the breeze,
the sweet rays of sunlight
work magic on my soul,
breathing color and life
into dormant memories past
in repose of late afternoon,
a restless heart revived
as I walk down this path
on a Sunday afternoon
and stop for just a moment
as I hear the choir’s song
that sings of peace
and love
and joy
within the rustling
of the leaves
that also speak to me.
And on this afternoon
within this tranquil scene,
for a brief time at least,
my heart soars
and comes to rest,
at one with what I see
and suspended
within a glimpse
of sweet serenity.

Beautifully done, Michelle – I was loathe to mar your painting so, yet the spirit of Epiphany told me to do it … I listened and obeyed!
Art By: Michelle
WELCOME
Doors always open
Here I stand
I welcome all whom come
In good times
Are in bad
I still stand shine are rain
There is love here
To be shared
To all that will and want
Come on in

gone were the days
that I wasted…
Had to do an original one to Michelle’s art, especially after she revealed that it is known as the “meetinghouse” at the Hale Farm and Villege park.
This is dedicated to you, Michelle, and your love of family and old fashioned culture. :love: :love:
All such gorgeous pieces posted. An honor to read all of them. Thanks so much for the peace and serenity tonight as I read.
Sorry I’m so late Michelle and Darrell. I’m actually traveling so my laptop will have to do. I hope the signal carries out to you.
