Divine Child

May the Divine Child - that part of us which is innocent, teachable, generous, and full of wonder - reside in you always.

Merry Christmas!

Warm Wishes for the Holidays

With snow and cold air I offer this painting as a warm holiday image.

Merry Christmas!

Landed in Australia

I'm happily landed in Australia and finally quite settled in. I keep hearing about the wintry weather back home and find it hard to imagine, given the heat that has taken over here. With Christmas just a few days away it seems odd to contemplate celebrating the holiday feeling perhaps too warm!

But on the topic of art, I'm back in the studio. It was all waiting for me just as I left it eight months ago, everything neatly stacked away. It's been interesting to see the work that I did earlier in the year...I actually quite like some of it that I wasn't so sure about in April. Distance can help!

I know I won't have much time to work over the next couple of weeks with a houseful of family to play with, but at least I've taken out the paints and gotten a start! It definitely feels good and is quite a change with the windows wide open and the sunlight pouring in.

Here are a couple of photos of the studio....quite a change from the space in Vermont!

Bald Angel

Cynthia Emerlye:
Today I decorated my Christmas tree with two dozen angels I've collected over the years.
This image is meaningful to me, as a cancer survivor, so I thought you might enjoy it.


May you each enjoy a healthy, joyful holiday season or winter solstice celebration wherever you are.

Feeling Silly

We Made the New York Times!

White River Junction and Tip Top Art and Media made today's New York Times travel section as a travel destination! Be sure to select the slide show option to see photos of the town, including one of the orange wall in the lobby of the building, displaying work by the visual artists at Tip Top.... Way down to the left is my painting, "Eagle #2".

Cowboys and Cowgirls

I've had more requests for "Clint Eastwood" kirigami so last night I cut these two. In my Etsy shop there are more cowboy boots. As you see, these are pretty detailed, so each one is a one-movie creation.
