Allyson Reynolds is a young Australian artist whose paintings of moths enchant me. She sees them as luminous, ethereal creatures, reminding me to step out of that “get the mothballs” mentality (well, I use lavender, but same idea: good riddance.) Quiet, unexpected beauties, their papery wings glow with color. At Rebecca Hossack Gallery in London, which, by the way, posts a new favorite poem each day on its website. Bliss.

Happened across your blog from a NYT article which caught my eye - I am unemployed after almost 18 years in research science - your words echo my thoughts and actions a lot. How lovely that you have discovered Allyson's Moths - I saw these when she was a graduate from art school in Brisbane (Australia) - wish I had the money back then to have bought one - they are a total delight!
It looks like a fabric pattern. I re-recongnized the beauty of nature again. I got your website from the article related to you. I sent the website to one of my French friend living in Lisbon. Have a happy Easter there.
I loved the excerpt in the New York Times magazine and am looking foward to getting the book. I am at a similar stage in life, with 4 children off, working only very part time. I have begun writing poetry which is a great way to "pay attention" to the beauty around us. Transition is difficult, but I am beginning to Love Life Slowly!!! Chrissy
Love your blog and look forward to reading your book. I too love the moth paintings. They are so full of movement and light. I thought you (and your readers) might be like to know that a new set has become available. I posted more information on my blog!
