Here at Lyme Camp we have different rules.
Or, wait, do we even have rules?
I do have a stack of library books to read, and I do read every day, but I also have with me a book whose pages have become my painting canvases. The book is a Children's Classic edition of Little Women published in 1987, with the handwriting and love of my sweet mama—now deceased— captured on the flyleaf. She is with us here—mother to daughter, grandmother to granddaughter, great-grandmother to great-granddaughters—offering comfort during the days of this crazy camp adventure.

Oh NOW! That's there is a SKY! LOL. The rules are, there ARE no rules, LOL haha. It's late, forgive me. Tickled my funny bone.
LOVE abounds! LOVE HEALS!
Love and prayers from me to you two!
Your work is so beautiful, Dotty. This is absolutely worth selling, or making postcards of.
Probably this is not the time you have space for this, though, but that doesn't make it less beautiful!
Sheila, the illimitability of the sky calls to me here in Virginia—I am in a part of Shenandoah Valley where there are acres and acres and acres of open pasture and farmland along with countless rises in the land from which to get above any trees that might otherwise block the view, and so I see sky, sky, SKY!
Thanks for love and prayers.
Gratitude: love, prayers, sky, no rules : )
Simone! Your words make me feel as though you are standing here beside me, both of us discovering again and again that beauty is always at hand if we will but see.
LOL! Hard to imagine that here and now would be the time to sell or make postcards—but surprise and wonder are as bountiful as beauty, so who knows!
No rules, stacks of library books, the handwriting of sweet mama....and work in progress. You have captured what must be the sweet silver lining of Lyme Camp! Big hugs to all the campers. xo
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jen! You have understood this story of hammered-thin-as-paper silver linings and the underlying need for ongoing gigantic larger-than-life hugs here at Lyme Camp.
Best rule " no rules" in life and art!Love your scratch line work!
I often think of you when I find myself doing scratch line work, Carol : )
