Splendid Memories
19"w x 29"h
"This building reminds me of a plantation home on an exotic
island. You can see that the architecture has a European influence
with a tropical, open feel. If you go straight through the porch
to the railing and look over and down to the ocean, you will
see the waves crashing against the rocks below, splashing water
occasionally on the tile floor. The salt spray has weathered
the structure, eroding away some of the detail. This place is
a memory - a splendid memory. You can see how the memory has
brought the lady back to gaze once again."

Strawberry Morning

"If I picked my favorite house, it would have the back door
to the kitchen leading out to a strawberry patch. The sounds
of life rumbling through the bushes. My own feet cut the path

visitors and pure peace drifting in from outside."

Inspirational Bouquet

one to feel the essence of the room. Along one wall the dresser
sits decorated with parts of someone's life. Sun comes streaming
