Lots of memories. Left to right the top row is a lovely embroidery that my Canadian cousin gave us when we got married then a print from Norfolk Island and on the right is a painting by my step-daughter's partner of the view from their deck near Bowral in New South Wales.
The middle row is a rough painting by the lady I was named after (my second name Heather). She was a friend of my parents and was killed when a bomb was dropped on the primary school opposite their shop/house about 8 - 9 months before I was born. next is a brass rubbing - unfortunately, I cannot remember which church we got it from. Then a print of a sketch of York.
The bottom row is a bark painting we purchased in Brisbane then a caricature of Doug done by the cartoonist, Evans and last a print of a sketch of Chester. Yes, it is coming along nicely.

DeleteI really like your art wall. -such good memories hanging there.
ReplyDeleteAs well as nice pieces with memories it also makes the room seem more in proportion. Win, win.
DeletePicture perfect, they are lovely,and the shelf above, this is such a wonderful addition.
ReplyDeleteThe shelf came about because of a beam in the old verandah. It worked out well. Have items ready to be sorted to go there.
DeleteIt's a good way to make use of a wall, I have plenty to put up but as we are renters it's not our house.
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame.
DeleteI didn't know you had a picture by Heather D; is it of boats? Difficult to see.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is of boats and I have a smaller ink drawing of Dartmouth Castle. The one of boats is very rough and has more sketches on the back.
