A little rearranging and tidying of the home opens the soul up for happy new adventures and airy possibilities.
We moved the fluffy white rug out of our newly renovated library-atelier-homeschool room and let our new cosy brown cacao floor shine. The sofa was set up under the ‘Of Earth & Air’ triptych flanked by the new end tables and lamps for easy reading in the mornings and afternoons. A bookshelf tidy-up allows for easy access to our favourite stories and school lesson books. The new keyboard awaits little fingers in sunlight, ready to turn the page to new songs. Our handmade table, used for printers last year, is now our new lesson area which is good for posture, backlit by the sun. Yoga and gentle ballet take the floor. Spring stretches into the freshly made kitchen pantry room with a new tapestry, records to sing along with, and baskets of shallots and garlic to keep us well as the wind decides its course. Fresh snow falls for us to play in, and we savour this quiet still with smiling nervous systems. Glorious seed packets sit in a wooden box by the mudroom door, awaiting their nutritious earth.
This spring, I am channeling Vianne Rocher (Chocolat) and Aunt Lucy (Cobble Street Cousins) as we begin a little local child-parent club to practice poetry, art, and nature. We are all fresh in sage green checks and dusty periwinkle embroidery dresses with white petticoat hems. I paint up Sage Rose Sorrel garden scenes in watercolour washes for Sage’s special children’s treasury. We exchange tartan and sparkling silver ribbons on the outdoor sconces for cornflower blue and cream.
Coming up soon are some freshly illustrated book character card-prints, late winter owl wax seal stamp stickers, and early spring artwork. Once we can sit en plein air at the beaches, new oil paintings will release in my shop.
We wish you a lovely spring, full of positive energy. Love, ~Amor Milagre
I am working on some new oils to go in this atelier room as these paintings are for sale in my shop. This is a revolving art gallery. New work is displayed each month. Shop these large scale pieces, as well as smaller ones for any sized space. The triptych tells a story, but it may be split up. Isn’t it fun to know you can own a piece of a story? I like the idea of collectors tracking them all down like puzzle pieces. New artwork is coming up!
The spring tree is coming up after the snow melts. We love Valentine’s Day and winter’s cream.
