"In the Dunes"

Forrest Greensalde

Mixed Media Painting, 16" x 13", Framed Original

$250

This fence on the dunes is laid out in an interesting accordion pattern which would be good for erosion control.  It seems that this scene must be on a peninsula so that wind and water are predominately coming from the side rather than the top of the painting.  You can tell this by the way the tree leans from the strong beach winds.  The sweet little house or barn, then, is safe as the weather is not likely to enter from that end.

"White Cat Watching"

Shannon Bueker

8" x 8" Acrylic on Canvas, Original

$70

What do you think this white cat by Shannon Bueker it watching?  I see at least one bird and there are probably a few insects, maybe a lizard.  Infinite, the number of things you can see if you sit still long enough outdoors.  Let this be a reminder to slow down and attune to the glory around you.

Sarah McTeer Ogburn "August" at the Joyful Jewel 8-20-13

"August"

Sarah McTeer Ogburn

12" x 16" Mixed Media Painting, Original, Mounted on top of frame

$145

Sarah McTeer Ogburn includes a letter and lines from a familiar song with this striking new painting, "August."  Read it and let it wash you in gratefulness.

Darling August,

Already the remarkable and breathless days of summer are here and I am convinced it has everything to be your never-to-be-forgotten summer.  It will come as near to perfection as anything can come in this world!  Evening skies will be full of lightning without a whisper of thunder, and even the stars will be singing their song to each other.

I feel so very sorry I haven't written more often, August, because your letters to me warm my alone heart.  I must close now, or I will be wirting on into the night and into September.  I've sent along our song . . . I'll think of you each time I sing it . . . when you read it if you happen to think fondly of me, well, I would like that . . .

Your own loving . . .

          Stars shining up above you
          Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
          Birds singing in the sycamore trees
          Dream a little dream of me
          Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
          Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
          But in your dreams whatever they be
          Dream a little dream of me
