The parcel arrived this afternoon..  Bigger than I expected...  Very well packed! Will I really like it?  YES! I do.  And I quickly found the right place....
I can't stop looking at it. And smiling. Still Life With Iris by Elizabeth Blackadder.

A very impersonal way to buy art. Yes, eBay is new to me Julia.

Glad you like it too Viv! I am seeling a few things because I've run out of wall space (and to raise some money to travel..)

I don't know Elizabeth Blackadder, but I do have a print of a Samuel Peploe (you mentioned the Scottish Colourists the other day). It also makes me smile when I look at it. It's 'Still Life with Tulips' I love the bold shapes and bold colours. Another print I have which cheers me is Vermeer's 'View of Delft', I find the sun coming out after rain and the early-morning people going about their ordinary business uplifting. Life going on. I had a solitary Artist's Date at home yesterday reading for the first time 'The Small Boy and his Mouse' a poem by D H Maitreyabandhu. I found it puzzling at first, but once you get a clue it all opens up brilliantly.

Isn't it wonderful how art can lift your spirits? My Artist Date tomorrow is giving mysel a reading day too. Elizabeth and Her German Garden. I will look up your poem with the lovely title.

Thank you Rosemary & Freda, for reminding me that sitting & reading can be an artist's date, that i can do something gentle indoors rather than dramatic outdoors.
