As of late, the news around here seems to make me want to hold on fast - onto things which one can truly not control. I want to find peace and happiness, and my artwork brings that to me as I know it does to others.
Holding Court Blog Home
I have a feeling she would want us to hold fast to our passions for creating an artful life. This one is for you. May the memory of your passion for design, for life, for love and for your family and your home, live on in those whose hearts you have graced.
(The original artwork shall be sent to the house of Holding Court.)
