Calla Lily Memories

(c) Olenka -AKPhilippas    A small study from my 2015 sketchbook

I was looking for a particular photo and came upon a few from my old sketchbook.  This little acrylic painting was based upon photos I took of the centerpiece during a luncheon with friends in Connecticut.

I have wonderful memories of the long row of calla lilies that lined the entrance walkway to our house in Argentina.  As a toddler I would sometimes break off the yellow stamen and taste it -- very bitter.  Ever hopeful that the next one would be better, it took several bites on different days to convince me it was never going to be sweet. Didn't stop me from enjoying their beauty...

Wishing you a day of sweet discovery!

On this day Nov. 6, 2018, when our nation was focused on voting, while so much emotion and opinion and judgement was being tossed around on the news and all media, I prayed for the words that might be considered today as a way of remembering our Divine source and origin, to heal, calm and realign our heart's with Soul so that whatever the outcome we can walk together, listening with open agreement to  allow only guidance toward action that leads to the highest good of all.
