Wonderful Artist!

Image
These incredible creations are by the wonderful artist Jo Lawrence. I found her on the internet quite a while ago. I think she is from England, but I am not positive. She is so imaginative and inventive!! Her work is just amazing! If anyone else knows about Jo Lawrence and knows where I can find more of her work, please let me know!! Have a wonderful and safe New Year's celebration! Debbie (www.artmajeur.com/debbieschramer)

Provence

Image
These are incredible photos from a beautiful book about Provence that I bought for my mom for Christmas. I have a copy, too, but it is in storage. She absolutely loves beautiful things and I know she will really love this book. This is the way I love to decorate!!!! One thing I would love (almost more than anything) to do in my life is to be an interior decorator. This is the style I would want to use for people. I love European design, things that are old, weathered, elegant and rustic. Debbie ( www.artmajeur.com/debbieschramer )

Our son Matthew, a filmmaker

Image
Several winters ago, when we lived in Bellingham, Washington, our son Matthew (who actually just graduated from college, majoring in filmmaking) came up to visit us for four days and spent the entire time filming us working on our art. We were so excited and loved spending this wonderful time with him, doing such a special project. Our older son, Michael also did the beautiful music for Matthew's documentary about our art, which is called "Married to Art". Michael's music is wonderful! So, it was a real family project and we were so excited to work with our sons in this way. (Descriptions of pictures above: 1. (left) Matthew filming the wonderful little chairs that the children made in the class we taught in Bellingham at a birthday party. (We actually have taught many, many art classes for children!) 2. Here I am passing out more materials for the children to use. 3. More materials...... 4. My husband Mike working on his art and Matthew in the background filming our ...

I loved my little studio space.......

More pictures of my little furniture, our Treehouse and especially my work area.....that is, where I loved working on my art when we lived in Bellingham, Washington....several years ago. Does anyone know of Bellingham? It is such a pretty area, so green, so many beautiful trees and mountains and wildflowers. I loved it there. One winter when we were there, we lived with my husband's mother and took care of her. We lived in Sudden Valley, a wonderful vacation area outside of Bellingham. One winter afternoon, Mike and I went out to walk in the snow.....which was very high and the trees were bending under the weight of so much snow! It was a wonderland! We had so much fun, running and sliding on the road, watching branches suddenly drop their catches of snow and the many glistening flakes would fall delicately and ever so gently to the ground. We stopped quickly in awe of the little glittering, light filled snowflakes.....feeling as if they were speaking to us as they fell to the grou...

Some of my favorite pictures

Image
Aren't these pictures beautiful? They are different cards that I've collected and they are some of my real favorites! Here's a little information about them for you: The first picture is so beautiful. I just found it in a book but unfortunately didn't write down the photographer's name. The second picture is of a painting by the artist Raymond Peynet. I found a website with more of his work and his paintings are so charming!. The third picture (on left) is so adorable. It's a photograph by Susinn Weiss (Ecolagecards.com). I love this card! It is so cute! The fourth picture is so precious. All it said on the back of the card was J and J from Sheepshead Bay. I tried to find a website of her work, but couldn't find anything. If anyone is able to find more of her work, please let me know! I love this sweet painting! The fifth picture is so utterly beautiful! This is the kind of life I would like to have......gentle, delicate and pretty! This painting is by the a...

Beautiful photographs.....available as Cards and Prints!

Here are some of my wonderful little photographs.......I thought you would enjoy! I love doing photography......there are so many beautiful things to take pictures of. My father passed away several years ago and I told my mother that I really wanted to have something of my Dad's that was special to him.....to help me remember him. She gave me his digital camera. I was so touched because he loved taking pictures. So, now I have the joy of using his camera to make beautiful photography. Every time I use his camera, I think of him. It's really special to me. My father was a musician......he was a wonderful man, quiet but very sensitive and kind. He had polio when he was in his early twenties, before I was born. It was a long recovery for him but he got through it. He was also a wonderful composer and taught music in many different schools for years and years. I loved to hear him play the piano. He was a great musician. I miss him so much. I try to talk to him as often as I can. I ...
