  1. Irina!

    I just got in from a much longer day than expected. I think I missed you...I will come back to you.

    Look at this world that this magician created. Her innocent world of creatures, children, a peaceful environment. Yes, as she asks us, THINK about what would you THINK? I wonder what would I think if there were no visionary artists to make the sacrifices necessary to just MAKE ART. No worries about popularity or sales, but to just make art. There would be no refuge for many of us.

    This is a sweet corner, a tender place, where I have LOVELY REVERIES...

  3. Ahhh...pure magic here. The music, that darling little snowy village with the two friends, ambling on the path next to the NEW MOON. Is it a bookstore? A café? A curiosity shop? An enchanting world we can imagine, for those of us who dare to be different.

    Thank you dear friend, for coming to visit me, and for re-reading my little book. Oh how I wish I could really make books, but maybe that is what I will learn at the book center.OH! TOmorrow night is the Visual Journal Collective free course at the center...at 7:00...see if you can come. I am going!

    MUCH LOVE to you, Anita

  6. She was an incredibly gifted artist and author. Such creativity and imagination. I used to have a book on her glorious gardens. A very special woman, indeed. Have a great week, Irina!

  7. And now I come from my world to yours....splendid transition from haunting music to sweet and gentle tunes....you are just the most delightful of angels my dear...you truly are. How about that horse swimming? How about that cheval, jumping ever so gracefully over life's hurdles, and then that STUNNING horse with the lady on his back? My dream, to ride forever, in eternity on the back of beauty and grace....but for now, it is rehearsal time, and I fall off my high-horse, A LOT!!!!!!!!

    MUCH LOVE and thanks for this enchanting post on a true artist that just chose to live the life she dreamed of living!!

  11. I love her philosophy of, basically, living in the moment and enjoying the beauty of life all around us. I was actually thinking the same thing today as we drove down a country road, breathing the crisp air and thrilling in the awesomeness of the brilliant bronzes, rusts and garnet trees. The world sometimes seems to be falling to pieces, but the beauty of nature does not change. Tasha is a real role model to so many friends of mine. My cousins daughter was one of her models. I love that she raised her children ( a divorced mother) on the sales of her artwork. I did too. But I could never live the old fashioned life that she lived, maybe bits and pieces of it, but I refuse to cook dinner in the fireplace!
