I finished 3 new paintings in my Patchwork & Posies series in the past month and Roger completed 3 stained glass windows. I'll start this post with photos of the 3 windows that we created for our loft sitting room.
I do the design work and color choice for the windows and Roger does the construction and installation. We make a good team! If you read some of my past posts you know we divided our loft into two rooms, the sitting room and my art studio. We will install two more of the same style of windows in my studio. This will give a consistent look from the outside.
I became obsessed with the patchwork paintings that were inspired by my friend Gloria's quilt. I added 3 more paintings to this series. The first is "Patchwork & Pansies"
Next is "Patchwork & Purple Iris".
The third one is "Patchwork & Yellow Rose".
Not long after the first of the year I prepped a canvas for a desert scene painting but then I got side tracked by these patchwork paintings. I will finish the desert scene for my next project.
Roger has been working on the last two stained glass windows but is taking a break to do some outside work. We are in no rush to have the windows installed in my studio. We decided it was better to take advantage of the nice weather to get some of the outside work done before it gets too hot.
It is one year ago that the quarantine started and in that year we have completed many home improvement projects. I am glad I did a post on each of these projects as they were completed. As I go back and look at these posts over the last year it is like reading a journal of all we accomplished.
Between our hobbies of stained glass, painting, home renovation and taking walks we are having a lot of fun. It is good to have things that keep us busy and that we enjoy doing. We have not missed our other activities like bowling and fitness classes and taking trips that we could not do to because of Covid 19. We may or may not resume them again in the future as things open back up. We will make that decision later. In the mean time, we are content with our lives as they are now. We are enjoying our "Home, Sweet, Home.
