Quiet from the Inside Out

January 11, 2013 By Gloria B. Collins

Thank you Gene for my tea cup.  I was inspired to make the perfect arrangement to go with it. I remember you every time I use it. It's almost like the tea quiets me from the inside out. Reaching out to my soul and saying - shhh, it's time to just be still. May you find that peaceful moment in your days to be quieted from the inside out. … [Read more...]

Believe

December 11, 2012 By Gloria B. Collins

Believing in the spirit of Christmas is about finding those little moments in time that inspire us as we continue our journey through life. A good example is when I came back from a very exciting flower installation. I felt on top of the world. Well, normally I would share this great news with my parents, but now there was no one to share this … [Read more...]

Constantly learning with my family.

July 23, 2012 By Gloria B. Collins

I just don’t have the proper time to teach important lessons. The Summer of 2012 brings new beginnings and with new beginnings there is always the process of … [Read more...]

Remember the Meat Ball

September 8, 2011 By Gloria B. Collins

Yesterday morning as the boys left for school the bittersweet reality hit me like never before, I would not have them with me from day till night. Our days would not be ruled by our imagination, nor our lazy attitude to naturally slow us down. My sons couldn't stop thanking me with hugs for a wonderful summer. "Thank you Mom, it was the best … [Read more...]

Will you have a cup of tea?

August 26, 2011 By Gloria B. Collins

Afternoon tea in Ireland is more than just having a cup. It's really about sitting down with family or friends to just slow down for a chat. It's a little ceremony giving us a treasured simple moment to recharge from the day. A piping brewed cup with a simple biscuit is all one needs, however, when a Granny wishes to show her littlest grand … [Read more...]

Not sure what the prompt was before I sat to draw because I just wanted to capture this clematis before it passed. I used watercolor and Tombow brush pens.

As a little girl, I made my art to pass the time. As a little girl, I made my art to pass the time. But my grandfather saw something more and gave me my first unpaid commission.  I remember vividly the dining room table I sat at, and out of the blue, he came up to me with his loving voice and asked me to illustrate two intertwined trees, depicting the deep and ageless love a couple has for each other, a pretty deep ask for a ten-year-old. But I followed the brief and delivered. 

What he thought of the drawing must have been positive because I’m still draw. I didn’t get any negative comments.
