Times Gone By

Times Gone By

Oil on Wood

12"X12"

Dark and mysterious. Inviting even. A chair waits to be occupied while big fir trees reflect their age and majesty from across the road.  And the old house keeps its history hidden deep within.

The tranquility of this memory does wonders for my mood which is jangled by the jingling of bells and rushing crowds. I am feeling the silence of Christmas down deep, where friends and family are held tight in grateful embrace.

The deep yellow of their house, painstakingly preserved by generations of paint. Long summer evenings. Friends gathered. Laughter, conviviality, good food and wine. Mint and radishes picked from the garden. Nasturtium flowers dotting the salad.  Creme fraiche clouds on fresh blueberry pie. It all happens there in the warmth of summer. And feeds our souls through the chill of Winter.

I am working my way back to windows. Looking in. Looking out. A stolen glimpse, passing by. Inside.  

Out. Exploring the mystery of it all.
I have been a little distracted lately. The wonderful wedding. And then my old computer gave out so I am learning a new one trying to keep calm and carry on.
These days have also been filled with friends because it is that time of year when I yearn to see them all, one at a time. To reconnect and store up a little conversation and laughter to carry into the New Year. Time well spent.

He married her. She married him. Then they were wed. To love and be loved. How sweet it is.
