This challenge was for a Frida inspiration. Inspiration Avenue has a weekly challenge. Go here to see the results of this weeks. I decided to pick one of her portraits to do and then I added her much used leaves as a frame. As you can see the deadline was not met. I did not finish her border. But I will and when it is done, I will show you. Happy Easter! The above mosaic shows the 20 pieces up for bid HERE. The auction runs May 1-7. Below are the pieces I am donating to this wonderful cause.  |

I don't have to pursue it. It will possess me always, I know it. That is the meaning of this happy hour: Color and I are one. I am a painter.” |

By William Wordsworth (1770-1850). I wander'd lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the Milky Way, They stretch'd in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: nor oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils. |
