A lovely card for animal lovers

"The Door is Open" by Nancy Darrell

"The Door is Open" by Nancy Darrell

I am fortunate to live in an area with many talented artists and crafters such as this artist, Nancy Darrell, a member of the prestigious Southern Highland Craft Guild, which  operates  the Folk Art Center near Asheville, NC where Guild members sell work year-round. Browsing for gifts at the Folk Art Center this past weekend, I discovered these lovely cards by woodcut artist Nancy Darrell of Marshall, NC. Nancy is also a talented potter and often incorporates birds into her work. She has an extensive line of woodcut prints of cabins, wild birds, and mountain scenes. Although I’m more of a dog person than a cat person, I loved this image. It speaks to me of the warmth and love that animals bring to our lives, if we open the door and let them in. This image is also available as a woodcut print for framing, or in packages of blank notecards.  Please note, my scanner distorted the card colors a bit; the left border is more of a mustard or pumpkin shade. Enjoy!
