In January and February, the theme was color and mood. The colors were purples, greens, and grays- cool, rather dreary colors that match my mood for the winter.

The painting on the bottom isn't a painting at all - it's fabric. I found it at an estate sale and loved it. It looks wintry and cold to me. There are a few tears in it, so I Mod Podged it to a board. Now it is much more durable.
The painting on top is a quickie watercolor I did myself because I needed something in this color palette to fill the last space.

| This long painting was also an estate sale buy and if you turn your head and look at it horizontally, you will likely recognize it. It is a common mid-century modern painting of a bridge in front of a city skyline. I got it for $10, mostly for the frame and its size. I added a few lines with a magic marker to distract from what it used to be. |

| This is a watercolor that I think I got from my great aunt's estate. The cars are from the 50s, but I don't recognize the city. It is signed, but I can't decipher the signature. If I ever make it to Antiques Roadshow, I will take this picture. |
Anyway, it is fun to assemble an ensemble of art with an arbitrary theme. For March and April, the theme is greenery. One of the pictures I am copying from the cover of the Upper Room magazine -more on that later.
Until tomorrow,

What art offers is space — a certain breathing room for the spirit.

One of the best things about paintings is their silence —
which prompts reflection and random reverie.
