THE JOURNEY

 

BIRCH TREES

Some birch trees added ....more will come .  Must have a lot of patience making trees....it is repetitious but relaxing at the same time.

I hope all of you enjoyed this journey with me.  It was an unexpected journey  as today when I finished this piece the owner of this farm reported that she took the light colored lab, Sophie into the vets for a check up because she was limping.  Turned out to be cancer and she had to be put to sleep.  Such a beautiful dog gone too soon.

I am so sad, yet happy that I added these two dogs to this piece.  Now Sophie will live on the farm where she was so happy with her buddy Tristan.

Birch Tree

I have added the birch tree to the background, using individual leaves in a soft yellow.  I like the addition of this color to the scene and the background.  Hopefully I will quilt it this afternoon and then move forward into that grassy area in front of it.

Most of my time has been outside.  Not only has it been in the 50's but it has been sunny and not windy which is a big change from our long winter.  So had to start walking with dogs again which has made them so happy as well as the big job of yard cleanup.  Now all the beds are raked and cleaned up in both the front and back of the house and last night we got some rain so there are signs of tulips and daffodils poppy through the mulch.   I know there might be some bad weather up ahead yet but at least there are the signs of the end of winter out there now.
