Whisper Of White

Whispers of Winter white.  A season of quiet light to float in...to rest soundly.

"Outside the open window the morning air is all awash with angels."

~Richard P. Wilbur

All windows are open, curtains float about the room.  The warmth of sunshine remains, while Autumn barely blows in.  The garden fades with a blush of roses.   Fog returns to the back fields in the morning dawn.  

 Rosaries are in my etsy shop

There are beautiful days ahead for my family as one of my children is marrying, another is traveling to Panama to work on a coffee plantation, and our youngest is leaving the nest.

The Sea

"But when the earth answered like a sounding-board in a deep fertile roar, and the world sang round you in all dimensions, all above and below, -that was the rain. It was like coming back to the Sea, when you have been a long time away from it." 

~Isak Dinesen~ Out Of Africa

It was like coming back to the Sea

Summer

 "Come out here where the roses have opened.  Let soul and world meet."

~Rumi

 On Summer solstice I walked through the flowers by moonlight...the light of the strawberry moon.  Everything was so quiet, only the petals whispering.  My soul awake in the garden while the night sky held all my dreams.  

I continue to sketch roses and then paint them with a wash of watercolor.  The studio is my refuge during the heat of the day.

Roseate Summer

"And if you are a rose, I am rose shadow."

~Rumi

 "of the flowering of blossoms, of the purple waves of the sea."~ Virginia Woolf

The warmth of the Summer sun nurtures the garden bringing forth an abundance of buds and blossoms.  The English and Tea Roses that we planted are growing well.    Roses are beginning to surround Sea Cottage.  We planted a cottage flower garden in our raised beds this year with only a few vegetables.  We chose white flowers and herbs.  Flowers are everywhere.  Vanilla Sunflowers, white Cosmos, white Verbena, and French thyme are spreading and flowering.  Sweet Peas climb the bamboo and their fragrance fill the air.    The Summer garden overflows with life.  

In the midst of tending the flowers I find myself pausing to sketch all that surrounds me.  Later I retreat to the studio to add the palest of watercolours.   Some of these will be listed in my etsy shop but I am also painting roses for an art show that I was invited to participate in at our local Fine Art Center this Fall.

Of A Summer Sea

a quiet wash of the sea has come in

Sea Cottage is bathed in the white tide of a Summer sea

Peace flowing gently

"So fine was the morning except for a streak of wind here and there that the sea and sky looked all one fabric, as if sails were struck high up in the sky, or the clouds had dropped down into the sea."

~Virginia Woolf

Quiet, soft layerings of white with sun faded blues from the Summer sea.

Hidden in the Silence

"Look at that sea- all silver and shadow with visions of things not seen."

~L. M. Montgomery

Nature leaves treasures everywhere on this earth...
  hidden amidst the rocks, along the cliffs where the waves have just been.
Washed upon the empty shore under the dense fog of the northern sea...

in the shadow of waves and sand.

 Hidden in the silence of earth and sea.  The quiet, deep places...on the silent shores.

Seawashed Sanctuary

When we bought our home its Mediterranean architecture reminded us of a Monastery.

.We envisioned the way that we would inhabit its space to create a seaside sanctuary. 

 Living in simplicity with minimal furnishings, openness, natural light and soft shades of the sea.  There is empty space and quietness that creates a sanctuary atmosphere.

 Our home has become a refuge of peace and a calm dwelling place.

 

Sacred Quiet
