Thanks to everyone who participated in Micro Mystery #7. The clues given in the comment section were great and very helpful. The winner of the drawing is Rebecca Brasser.

The Birds, Beads and Bobble Hanging will be flying away to it’s new home in Jersey to sparkle up Rebecca’s apartment.

The Mystery Painting from last week .

The Storm On The Sea Of Galilee

By

Rembrandt  van Rijn

storm on the sea of Gallilie

 

If you look closely you will see a figure of a man in a red hat and a greenish blue shirt holding a rope, this is Rembrandt. Jesus is across from him in the boat a sleep. Rembrandt was no stranger to the storms of life. He suffered the death of 4 of his children and then his wife followed by bankruptcy. No wonder he has himself holding on tight to the rope in the boat. This is the only seascape Rembrandt painted. I hope it is soon found and returned to the Isabella Gardner Museum in Boston so once again this powerful painting can be viewed by the public and be a source of hope to those who travel the rough seas of life.

 

 

This week I have been working on my paper clay humming birds. Some of them are going to Birds and Beasley’s Art and Gift Store here in Helena. I am also putting a few of them for purchase at Urban Pastures Art under, Available Works/ Birds.
