It's a lost art, packing a picnic. We all love them, so why do we forget to make time for one? These made-to-order blankets are the reminder you need in the pantry to take a break, escape the screens. Each is a handpicked design from an original painting on a fluffy fleece fabric, hand-stitched on a conveniently waterproof backing. At 59 x 59 inches, there's plenty of room for an intimate spread with a twosome in mind or rowdy brood enjoying an evening of entertainment. So, grab one today and feel the fresh air on your face again!
From Latin, this phrase literally translates to “good luck”. I have carried it with me from high school when my Latin teacher would say it in a sing song manner while passing out weekly quizzes. Luck meant something different then and I find it an ever changing concept even now.
Luck, for me, is best defined with quotes these days, like Samuel Goldwyn saying, “The harder I work, the luckier I get.” or the Seneca attribution of “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” I guess it boils down to believing that we create our own luck. But, can that be the only reason such an idea is so important that it’s given a name, throughout history and cultures across oceans?
As I was finishing this piece, it was already sold and became a bit of a commission. I thought of this person, her family coin collectors and coins historically becoming talismans for luck. I looked up other talismans. What made those things bear significance, was it hope for or intention within? I imagined myself imbuing this piece with luck, through strokes of my paintbrush. I cannot say whether this piece will bring this person luck but I can say that I feel blessed that she had such immediate connection to this piece. I hope this blessing she gave follows her through this canvas and the lifetime they will now share. How lucky are we both?
