Ah, friends, it has been too long and I hope you are well!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've had an interesting year filled with new discoveries, adventures,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a bit of sadness - but such is life and I'm better for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do think it's time to retire this blog space, Golly Bard's Drawing Room,<br />
but it holds so many fond memories and I can't bear to completely abandon it.<br />
So, it will remain as an archive for the foreseeable future</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and you can find me on instagram, facebook, pinterest, and if you so choose, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
subscribe to my <a href="http://www.gollybard.com/newsletter">NEWSLETTER </a>on my website for the latest news from </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my studio and my garden. I will share new paintings, shop updates,<br />
special sales, and all that kind of goodness! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you all for being here for me all these years. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a dream. Au revoir.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
xo, Holly </div>

I just updated my <i><a href="http://www.gollybard.etsy.com/">shop</a> </i>with a few new watercolor paintings.</div>

I've been experimenting a bit with color and form and patterns.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunflowers four ways. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been raining for days. They skies are grey which I usually love,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
perfect painting light. However, it's damp and cold for a May day, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm <i>not</i> so patiently waiting for the sun to shine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It seems my palette is slightly weather dependent, hence the moody blues.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll have a small shop update next week with new watercolor paintings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a great weekend all.</div>

<i><a href="http://www.gollybard.etsy.com/">Satin Bowerbird</a></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started this painting a long time ago and never finished it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Usually I give up and move on but this week I decided to work on it again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I find Bowerbirds fascinating. They are quite organized collectors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Apparently, the Satin Bowerbird prefers blue. Who can blame him? Don't we all?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He presents his bounty in little piles, artfully arranged to woo his lady love.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's quite romantic when you think about it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This watercolor painting measures 18 x 24 inches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just added him to my shop.</div>

I forgot to post these pages from my sketchbook last week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vibrant colors, bright tulip paintings and patterns from my week working in Florida.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little palette departure, I know, but I don't know if I really have a consistent palette.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm open to what's around me and this is what happens when I </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
leave the grey skies and dormant landscape of Virginia, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and step into a tropical paradise. Sometimes the eye has to travel.</div>

A peek inside my sketchbook.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few pages from the last two weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No particular order or direction, no grand gestures,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just a place to explore ideas as they come.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been keeping a little sketchbook with surface pattern ideas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the paper is awful for painting, perhaps better used for drawing, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I love the scale of it and the pretty coptic stitching on the spine,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I'm determined to fill it up this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not one to keep a sketchbook with any regularity, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
preferring to simply dive in an make work and see what happens.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAVp4tzg0sbp1u3mTdS0QnkksxoHTeDxkx3cLJcZ-WhqASBso3ncNsAfEPQxQn6Yh2cCKtMGCjeba4OSgvhkKtzLaNvhe9JBE3maLlYSl2p-D9cVBveAfY987C-bnwkzcF5P7nB1ZgQdg/s640/blogger-image--1282679592.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAVp4tzg0sbp1u3mTdS0QnkksxoHTeDxkx3cLJcZ-WhqASBso3ncNsAfEPQxQn6Yh2cCKtMGCjeba4OSgvhkKtzLaNvhe9JBE3maLlYSl2p-D9cVBveAfY987C-bnwkzcF5P7nB1ZgQdg/s640/blogger-image--1282679592.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, keeping a sketchbook is a great way to paint or draw </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
something every day, especially when I can't devote </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as much time as I'd like to painting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjObDK_XnxZdvPADxBPINxxkdGd2e-0pv8bxI2Nrdp3mLkGPuJZpYjy3TWNrPQkhJk03NwmbZiz_fCsQ50POJzsAscbLQZJGv2b1-TTncssBSIGkxDpA7fiFpHRd9ThCbasEI27dptSXu8/s640/blogger-image-357830395.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjObDK_XnxZdvPADxBPINxxkdGd2e-0pv8bxI2Nrdp3mLkGPuJZpYjy3TWNrPQkhJk03NwmbZiz_fCsQ50POJzsAscbLQZJGv2b1-TTncssBSIGkxDpA7fiFpHRd9ThCbasEI27dptSXu8/s640/blogger-image-357830395.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes the work-life balance skews a little more toward life,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and that means less time for painting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I find this a great way to keep working in some manner or fashion</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and that makes me and my brushes very happy.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy New Year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been experimenting with portraits and pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Diminutive paintings with little borders.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More is more. Pattern on pattern. Layer upon layer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made several lists - as I always do - of people I'd like to paint.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plans, though, are made to be changed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I began with some ladies of fashion and then jumped to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
women naturalists and gardeners of which Vita Sackville-West </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is the first. However, I've side stepped and started Virginia Woolf,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I have no idea where it will all end up but that's fine by me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a year for doing new things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that is for sure.</div>

<i>"Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art— </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>not in lone splendour hung aloft the night </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>And watching, with eternal lids apart, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The moving waters at their priestlike task </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Of pure ablution round earth's human shores, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Of snow upon the mountains and the moors— </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>To feel for ever its soft fall and swell, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Awake for ever in a sweet unrest, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>And so live ever—or else swoon to death."</i></div>
</i><div style="text-align: center;">
<i>John Keats</i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It seems fitting that my latest watercolor paintings are mostly moody blues. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brooding, romantic, mysterious and other worldly, yet familiar.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sapphire, indigo, cerulean, prussian, hints of brown, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
persimmon and laced with silver and gold.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dozens of diminutive butterflies are now roosting in my shop </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
along with geometric and starry sky patterns, escutcheons, and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
portraits of John Keats and Fanny Brawne. </div>

Just a few of the pillow patterns I designed for one of my retail stores.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The thing I love the most about the pillows is that the fabric is designed by me,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they are sewn by a local workroom, and sold through a local, boutique business.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We're all neighbors working within a half mile of each other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How that happened in such a rural village is amazing to me!</div>

Nature seems so cruel these days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Predation, bad weather, pesticides, disease, you name it.</div>

It's been raining for weeks.</div>

Spring bulbs are blooming and the bees are busy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love these warm and sunny spring days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm inspired to draw some botanicals, which is perfect segue </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
into a new project that I've been dreaming about.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time to get out my dip pen and ink!</div>
