ALso, I do appreciate the Weaver's blog and how she made me feel her surroundings via the written word. I admire this because it is a daunting task for me and you make it look easy~ Your words feel as if they effortlessly tumble out of you and they express so well who you are!<br /><br />About your paintings. Both lovely. About the energy of the person you bought from the lovely gypsy woman. I<br />believe in this 100% I have a few small things that an Asian woman in San Francisco made, Laku. I just want her energy around.<br /><br />Thinking of you Eryl.<br />xox<br />Crochambeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02142325813293645555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463471462522424732.post-56336514504779728592012-01-10T10:08:04.650+00:002012-01-10T10:08:04.650+00:00Eryl: no - it was along time ago - before I becam...Eryl: no - it was along time ago - before I became digital.

I was brought up in the depths of the Lincolnshire Fens and had a father whose love of the countryside he passed on to me. Together we catalogued wild flowers, looked for nests, spotted birds and just walked. Then for years I taught in an inner city (Wolverhampton) but luckily had a big garden - but even so we would spend every weekend out in the Shropshire countryside. Now, married to the farmer I feel as though I have come back home.<br /><br />As to those paintings - thanks for showing them in their entirety. The first one is interesting because of its associations for you but I absolutely love that second one - particularly the strength which bursts from it.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463471462522424732.post-61747336096417537652012-01-05T10:17:06.163+00:002012-01-05T10:17:06.163+00:00What a lovely connection to the wonderful, Weaver,...What a lovely connection to the wonderful, Weaver, Pat.
