At longest last I feel signs of Spring in the air as March appears
so lovely to see lighter evenings & misty mornings again
I am feeling as mad as a March Hare, so much to do so little time!
Paintings to paint for an exhibition, a vegetable patch to start,
a pile of sewing, books waiting to be read, hmm where to begin!

A walk is always a good place to start dont you think?
To breathe in the deepest lung fulls of pure inspiration!
Walking in our woods i spy knots of wood & twisted roots,
To breathe in the deepest lung fulls of pure inspiration!
Walking in our woods i spy knots of wood & twisted roots,
delicate lace like skeletons of leaves & entwined branches,
all the inspiration of Mother nature spread before my eyes.
It reminds me of the symmetry of the celtic knotwork i so love.
So March is here & there are new treasures to discover,
the clocks will go ticking forward & there is Spring Equinox.
Very soon we will be tiptoing through bluebells in the woods!
What do you love about March?
Beautifiul images. I love all the photos - is that a new little puppy in the family? I love seeing the branches that truly do look like the knots. And those stones, oh my! Your tree is lovely. Happy March! We had a big snow storm today, so its feeling a lot more wintry than your photos.
ReplyDeleteYour tree is magnificent Ruthie! LOVE it. Hmmm. Do you ever sell originals? : )
ReplyDeleteHugs, Penny
I saw the Groam House museum a few years ago - quite by accident too. I think the George Bain exhibition there may be permanent.
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention this but Gail and me stumble on a wee exhibition by him in Edinburgh just a couple of weeks ago ( http://www.nationalgalleries.org/media/files/george_bain_press_release.pdf ).
I can see how his work could tie into your's quite well.
Lovely, lovely post this Friday morning Ruthie! Your painting is just stunning, so intricate. Spring is definitely stirring here, I love the early morning birdsong in March (or should I say cacophony??) - it reminds you to keep faith, Spring and warmer days will soon be here. ~Siobhan xo
ReplyDeleteValerianna - that is Poppy, she looks tiny there, 8months old & a bundle of joy now! Happy March to you too treasure. Ooh snow storms, I guess I am able to thing of them longingly as Im sat here in mild weather lol! x
ReplyDeletePenny, thank you sweetie! I do indeed sell my originals, mostly on my website, though I am thinking of adding some to Etsy, I wasn’t sure if it would work out though. This one has been ear-marked already, but I am about to embark on another similar piece if you are interested ;-)
Sandy – sigh, how did I miss that exhibition! Did they have much of his work? Oh well at least the exhibition in Gram is always there, I shall have to manage another visit one day! You do discover such loveliness ;-)
Siobhan – I love the sound of the birds too! We were listening to a buzzard calling out over our heads & soaring free, beautiful. Fingers crossed for warmer days x
Your blog posts are always a treat for the eyes Ruthie :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yesterday, even though we were only in the warmth of the car, the sun was all golden & hazy & made me feel like spring was definitely on it's way! *sighs*

ReplyDeleteGorgeous tree!!!! LOVE it and all your photos! Your world looks so magical and enchanted! Hope you are doing great! March is a little crazy here... the beautiful days are amazing and then there are strange weather and foggy days. Last night I wore a huge wool scarf to class. What I love are the unexpected flowers that bloom early. :)
