Title: The Path  Value: $ 180 Size: 16 x 16"
Sequence: 188/950 Type: PR

To me love has always been more like a butterfly than a bee.   A bee goes about his business in a diligently purposeful manner, flower to flower gathering all the pollen he can, then without dilly or dally, making a beeline for the hive. But the butterfly is quite different, fluttering aimlessly from place to place, with what seems to be not a care in the world.  I hope your path is always surrounded by beauty and you take the time to appreciate it.  Framing courtesy of The Whimsical Pig, located in Watertown, NY.

The stone arch at Boldt Castle, in the 1000 Islands region of the St. Lawrence River, was to be the formal entry for launches, delivering guests from larger yachts anchored in deep water.  A drawbridge within the opening was to provide a promenade on the embankment of the Swan Pond.  When tragedy struck, with the passing of Mrs. Boldt, all work ceased and the project was never completed.  In this painting, you can see the US flag and the top of the Ulster Tower (play house) over the trees in the background.  Matted in taupe and framed in an ornate gold frame.
