New Work

This lovely piece is by MMCC member Ann Engleman. She had this to say about it:

"I finished "Freida". She was a college professor that had a profound impact on my understanding of women and of African American art and cultures. My latest series of hankies seem to honor women who have been meaningful in my life. I have a couple more. Then will return to embroidering linen hankies with poetry."

TRUST IN THE BASIC GOODNESS

I’ve been reading books on Buddhism this summer.

I like to embroider phrases to embed them in my memory.

I do believe in basic goodness.

MONET AND ME

What do Claude Monet and I have in common?

Monet said, “I work at my garden all the time and with love. My garden is a slow work, pursued with love and I do not deny that I am proud of it.” Same for me.

Walking through Monet’s garden and returning home to my own garden produced the same feelings of peacefulness, pleasure, and promise.

DOGWOOD BLOSSOM

Still in progress

Dogwood Blossom is a tribute to my 14-year-old German Shepherd/Alaskan Malamute dog, whom we adopted 12 years ago (when our 6'2" son was the same height as the dog!)
