Beautiful artwork

Leonid Afremov and Evgeny Lushpin - two incredibly talented Russian artists whose artwork is a joy to behold. I love their use of colour, their style and their subject matter. I love everything about their work!

So, I decided to share some of my favourite pieces:

Rainy Path by Leonid Afremov.

Montmartre by Evgeny Lushpin - Lushpin's colours, especially his blue shades, are just incredible.

Under the red umbrella by Leonid Afremov - love the lamp posts!

Evening tea time by Evgeny Lushpin.

There are lots more wonderful artists out there; these are just two of them. Enjoy :)

Nature's Walk and another year...

This last year of the second decade of the 21st century is already over a week old and I'm only just logging on to the lighthouse - belated Happy New Year to everyone 😊

We went away for the Christmas period and spent a quiet, low-key few days with family; it was blissful.
On 1st January some of us headed down to a café at the marina and enjoyed our surroundings:

There was a very slight breeze and it was balmy - absolutely glorious.




A dear friend celebrated her birthday just before Christmas and, now that she's received her present, I can show it on this blog!

This pattern is Nature's Walk, from a wonderful blog called Cherry Heart
I loved everything about this blanket but especially the colours. I matched yarn with Sandra's choices on her blog as closely as possible and was rapt with the results. My friend loved her birthday gift.

Another friend, who loves red, also celebrated her birthday around the same time so I made her some doilies to match this etched glass candle holder. Such a great find and something rather different.



May 2020 be a blessed and enlightening year for all 🙏
