WINTER GIFTS

FELICIDADES A TODOS! Am headed into my comfy cave for a long winter's nap -- will resume posts and e.mails December 29th.....best wishes to all, Donna.

There is nothing I can give you which you have not;
But there is much, very much that while I cannot give it,
you can take.

No heaven can come to us unless our hearts
find rest in today. TAKE HEAVEN.
No peace lies in the future which is not hidden
in this present moment. TAKE PEACE.

The gloom of the world is but a shadow.
Behind it, yet wihtin reach is joy.
There is a radiance and glory in the darkness, could we but see,
and to see we have only to look. I BESEECH YOU TO LOOK.

Life is so generous a giver, but we, judging its gifts by
their covering, cast them away as ugly, or heavy or hard.
Remove the covering, and you will find beneath it a
a living splendor, woven of love, by wisdom, with power.

Welcome it, grasp it, and you touch the angel's hand that
brings it to you. Everything we call a trial, a sorrow, or
a duty, believe me that angel's hand is there; the gift is there,
and the wonder of an overshadowing presence.
Our joys, too; be not content with them as joys.
They, too, conceal diviner gifts.

And so, at this time, I greet you.
Not quite as the world sends greetings, but with
profound esteem and with the prayer that for you now and
forever, the day breaks, and the shadows flee away.

FRA GIOVANNI, 1513 AD

"NESTLED IN" -- 28"x22" New Original Painting

"NESTLED IN" - 28"X22" New Original Oil Painting on Fine Belgian Linen, framed in gold with Linen Liner. One of the things I truly love about painting is the freedom I have to create my own reality-- to change an image -- "pentimento" -- to paint over what I thought was good two days or two weeks ago. Am almost embarrassed that I looked at siesta in grey for almost three years before it became "Siesta in Red" (see blog archived photo July 21st at http://donnaclair.blogspot.com). It finally became the painting I always hoped it could be.

Several weeks ago I did a small (14"x11") canvas called "Nestled In" -- about ten days ago I saw the basic image in a whole different light....I wanted to try to add an early moonrise -- and the lights on in the little adobe house where the nestlers would be making tortillas for dinner. Here it is.......My enhanced version of "NESTLED IN" -- 28"X22" - Original Oil on Fine Belgian Linen, framed in gold with linen liner.....For price and availability, please call my Taos Studio at (575) 758-7454. Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express are available for your convenience.
