This is the seventeenth challenge for The Artist Gallery, Hidden Treasures. I got up Saturday morning and took pictures of the special places where I keep treasures in my house. The painting is a composite of 3 things. The first is a shelf from one of my bookcases. The dolls are on a desk in my living area, the blue wizard is a favorite of mine. The antique powder shaker is from my grandmothers, it was in the bedroom I always stayed in; I don't know where it originally came from. I'm happy with this painting. It took many hours, for that, I was surprised!
The following quotes can say it better than I can.
About books:

- There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure Island ... and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life. ~Walt Disney
About memories:
- As humans we look at things and think about what we've looked at. We treasure it in a kind of private art gallery. ~Thom Gunn
- The many memories I will forever treasure. ~K. Hooton, from Just Not The Same

What lovely treasures, Beckie! I especially love the books (I am a book fiend) and the memory of your grandma with the powder tin...Just so warming. I like the wizard and the doll...They somehow come together to form a composite of Beckie, a treasure indeed.
Is this a painting!!?? I thought it is a photograph! ;-)..This is simple outstanding. Beautiful and Bright colors. The doll is so adorable! I am also a book warm Beckie...And yes..I am always with you dear friend...:)

I admire your willingness to change directions! I have always dabbled in art, but never enough to put myself 'out there'.
