As I wandered the local library one day, I picked up a random book about Japanese gardens. Flipping through the pages, I fell in love with the gardens in the book. But what really took my breath away were the pathways through the gardens.
Taking the book home with me (and grabbing a couple of other random Japanese garden books), I absorbed as much as I could and then took the books back. They still stuck with me. The images and my thoughts/feelings about the paths I had chosen had to put down on paper.
I ended up making a series of four pathways and fell in love with each one. They surprisingly left me feeling complete at peace.

these are beautiful... it's funny, even before reading your words, my first thought when i saw these lovely pathways was Japanese gardens. :-) So i can see why they make you feel at peace. xox
Verna, i LOVE these pathways. Before I even read your words, i almost knew they were inspired by Japanese gardens. Love the colors you chose and those wonderful patterns. xox
Thank you so much, Pauline!
