Do you see the simple, classic beauty?

It seems I always return to nature for inspiration.
The beauty of nature is classic and timeless.
When I create a piece of artwork that is nature inspired,
I love thinking that in maybe ten years or so,
it would still be enjoyed for it's classic style.

Below, a cutting I pressed, backed by burlap and then scanned for you...
Feel free to use this if you'd like!!






A few quotes I've gathered too,
feel free to take these as well sweet friends....
Just click image, then click it again to fully enlarge

Wishing you a beautiful Wednesday dear friends!!
hugs and love,
Dawn

Mornin', Dawn. I hope the sun rose to a beautiful Georgia day for you. It's going to be another hot, but fabulous day here in south Florida.

I've always been a Nature Girl at heart, growing up more in the country than the city. Husband and I had as many as 350 acres at one time in Wisconsin (we're not farmers, either), and left 90 acres behind when we moved south. I miss it. I miss the quiet, the flora and fauna and the pure bliss of country living...but not the snow! Our three acres in FL is too "close" for me. Someday, I hope to live on "land" again...with a huge, old barn (or IN a huge, old barn!).

Thanks for your images, and for inspiring me to "go on" today.
Blessings,
Donna

Oh, Dawn, I am such a Nature Girl. Spending time with God's creations always restores my soul, brings me peace and gives me joy.
