February is over and the March winds are upon us earlier than usual. I’ve been busy staying inside working on more commissioned as well as Celtic-themed works. Being half Irish, it’s hard not to add a few Newgrange spirals to my works now and then. And then there’s the green. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of being in Ireland, you’d soon know why it’s called the land of 40 shades of green. Photos don’t do it justice. The greens are so intense, and oddly enough, sheep do dot the landscape quite a bit. I love sheep, so it’s an added bonus.
An update on the scarf raffle for the Avon Walk for breast cancer—we received $152 in ticket sales!! Congratulations Rebecca and thank you for participating in your 6th walk.
Coming up: Spring is on the way, so I’ll be working on new designs featuring one of my favorite flowers—the iris. I took lots of photos last year of my iris patches so I have plenty of possible patterns to choose from. Keep taking pictures of your favorite subjects year round so that you can work from them year round.
Slainte!
