Isle of Golden Dreams ~ Paint Party Friday Week 29

Doing just that , dreaming up art work for Paint Part Friday, art work for my Halloween Blog Party this coming month of October and everything-else in between  during our home renovations.
I really wanted to be a part of this week's PAINT PARTY FRIDAY so I thought I share with you a gorgeous vintage painting I bought some time ago for my daughter Emma.








ISLE OF GOLDEN DREAMS








She has always dreamed of travelling abroad, especially to Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand and most recently Ireland. When I discovered this print I knew it was very old but after researching it on line I found out that it was done during the thirties ; a little older than I had thought.
If any of you have more information on this print I would love to hear about it.

So this painting is for all us Dreamers and Painters who dream of enchanting magical places and are truly inspired by the many artists of before and of now.

 "Isle of Golden Dreams" a beautiful painted treasure I uncovered one day at the Sally Ann.....Hope you like it......especially you Kristin ; )



P.S. Would luv to see you all at my Halloween Blog Party October / 2011.


Will be giving away a software program and an art piece done by me : )


Again Thanks to Eva and Kristin for hosting the weekly Paint Party Friday : ) Do visit all the participating artists....Always an Inspiration ; )

Oh yes - I definitely do like it! As a matter of fact, I wish I were sitting and dreaming on the beach right next to her! Ha! (Seeing her in the tropics is a nice break from the dreary rainy day that is actually happening outside my window!)

Thanks for sharing a little bit of paradise :)

Twilight at Sea


The Twilight Hours like birds flew by,
As lightly and as free;
Ten thousand stars were in the sky,
Ten Thousand on the sea;
For every wave with dimpled face,
That leaped upon the air,
Had caught a star in its embrace,
And held it trembling there.
