New Moon & Lighthouse

Only four more days

 until Winter Solstice...and then the return

 of the LIGHT!

(According to Linny-Lore,

 it's tradition to celebrate Winter Solstice

in this way: write a list of what 

you'd like to leave behind along with the darkness, 

then write another list of what you'd like to welcome into

your life along with the return of the light.)

~

And speaking of light, here is the Brockton Point Lighthouse,

 in Stanley Park,  in Vancouver BC, 

in LINNYLAND!!

 Linnyland is experiencing a technical blog clog;
I'm unable to access Linnyland messages plus
I can't leave messages on other blogs.

Last night, to begin the new year, I opened all the windows

 and doors to let any bad luck leave

and to allow good luck to enter.

According to Linny lore it's also good for clearing

the dreaded "blog clog"...
and just in case, please send any known remedies!

Red Barn and Sunflowers SOLD

Here's another from September's

Linnyland swimming/painting adventure to

Salt Spring Island. And remember, that

according to "Linny lore",

sunflowers bring success in business

and I'm sure that Linnyland paintings of them do, too!

Lucky Sunflowers

It's said that sunflowers are lucky

and that they always bring business success.

So, according to Linny-lore, it's extremely lucky
 to have a Linnyland sunflower painting hanging on the wall
 in one's home or place of business!

"Little, Little Lighthouse" (Race Rocks Lighthouse) SOLD

In honor of the winter solstice

here's a little light for everyone.

Happy Winter Solstice!

As of today we, in the northern hemisphere,

begin to experience an increasing amount of

daylight in every day.

According to Linny lore, the Winter solstice

is a day to release whatever

you'd like into the dark days of the past

and welcome whatever you'd like in to your life

along with the return of the light.
(I can see the Race Rocks Light from my studio window,

so, with a pair of binoculars and some Linnyland imaginings,

I welcomed this little painting into being.)

Chinatown Pine SOLD

Sun Neen Fai Lok! /Happy New Year!

The year of the tiger starts today and Victoria's Chinatown

is decorated in preparation for the

new lunar year celebrations.

All along the streets there are large red lanterns

strung high above the cherry and pine trees.

The color red represents happiness and good luck

and the pine tree represents longevity and endurance.

Having a pine tree on your property

is said to bring good fortune,

(and, according to Linny lore, a painting of one will as well!)
