I had to think about this. . . But, it didn't take me long to realize that the same factors that have driven my decorating urges, drive my art. It's cool, actually, to realize how intertwined it all is.
I am driven by the style, the colors, the mentality of the arts and crafts movement -- particularly the Roycrofters.


a perfect fit!
ReplyDeletehadn't heard of them before, delighted to discover something new!
ReplyDeleteleslie,
ReplyDeletei have loved this softly muted pottery for a long time
& the lines in your lamp, too, are familiar to my liking
but i did not know this---->
~~the Roycroft community~~
also,
i have been embracing
what i call The Leslie Colors
the rusty browns & the turquoise blues...
i have been surrounded by these colors
in my collections---
books
yarns
vases
all my life
but never notice them put together
so nicely...
i feel like my friends
thru their blogging
have
been part of my
**Independent Art Study Class**
:-)
{{ where do i apply for my Continuing Education Credits,
i do wonder... }}
Leslie, I didn't even know of this pottery! What lovely images! You surround yourself with warmth. And you exude it.
ReplyDeleteDear Leslie! I love the still lives of your home, the lamp, the old books and the sweet pottery! And that I get to spend time with you here in just a few weeks!!! You do exude warmth!
