Joyfully remembering & celebrating the life and art of Tasha Tudor today
on what would have been her 98th Birthday.
Tasha's family continues her legacy through their lovely blog Rookery Ramblings
{and wonderful newsletter}
where they are celebrating today with a giveaway { a rose plant from the Tudor family garden in Vermont }
painting joy
I feel a kinship with Tasha ~
her style
Independence
love of Nature & Home
sitting with my watercolours
{I went looking through my art cupboard and found 2 old paintings I had done from the 90's}
growing up in England & Canada, we had a rabbitry in the garden, so a little bunny here and there in a picture feels right at home ♥
gathering joy
&
keeping the company of blossoms
be it on watercolour paper
or woodland walks ...
taking joy
in the "little things"
here is the newest member of our garden :-)
we call him blue and he will sit in the lilac bush next to our kitchen window
and squawk letting us know the almonds are gone
and he is still hungry!
we sat on the deck enjoying a cup of tea watching blue fly back and forth until all the almonds were gone & he was content.
tasting joy
in our vegetable garden
not worried about all the tomatoes turning, as they will be turned into green tomato chutney
I cherish
&
read joy
in my ever growing collection of Tasha Tudor books.
& love the quote in "Tasha Tudors Garden" by Tovah Martin
"Her hands
are always busy
and her head
is forever filled
with dreams"

~Happy Tasha Tudor Day~
