CATSKILL MTN SERIES.png

A series of Collections inspired by my childhood home in Roxbury, New York - deep in the heart of the Catskill Mountains. An abundance of wildflowers that brings me to my knees. Walking barefoot on soft green moss, stepping stones, fly fishing on the banks of the Delaware River. Picnics on day hikes over mountains and rock ledges. Snow angels and sugar cookies. Ahhhh ...  the "simple" life.

Songbirds are plentiful in my childhood home in the Catskill Mountains. The Bible reminds us that His eye is on the sparrow ... they never go hungry! And ohhhh - the wild berries you can feast on in those mountains! This mini collection celebrates the multitude of birds and their babies, their colorful eggs and nests, and the berries they feast upon.

Wildflowers bring me to my knees! So many wildflower memories take me back to Roxbury in the Catskill Mountains. Flashbacks include using "paint" from dandelions and making daisy chains. We gathered bouquets of wild phlox near an old wooden bridge for Children's Sunday at church. Johnny Jump-ups were transplanted from the forest, where we also harvested fiddlehead ferns. My brother Ernie teased me that I was named after Queen Anne's Lace. Not sure about that one ... but let's go with iit!  ©2022 Anne Gregory

Wildflowers bring me to my knees! So many wildflower memories take me back to Roxbury in the Catskill Mountains. Flashbacks include using "paint" from Milkweed pods, making Daisy chains, and rescuing Johnny Jump-ups from the forest. We gathered bouquets of wild phlox near an old wooden bridge for Children's Sunday at church. Have you ever tasted fiddlehead ferns? Have you held a Buttercup under your chin to see if you like butter? I guess I do... (To see  more Field Flowers designs, click here)

My brother Ernie loved bugs! Legend has it, the word “bug” was his very first word. I dedicate this mini-collection to his memory. We played with pill bugs, caught lightning bugs in mason jars ... and once he caught a HUGE fishing spider and chased me with it, giving me nightmares for years to come. (He’s to blame for my lifelong fear of spiders! So, you won’t find one of these in my collection - ha!) Nonetheless, a glorious variety of colorful bugs can be found in the Catskills, including the Mayfly that inspires the “fly” used for fly fishing.

Remember Grandma's kitchen? It was all about comfort food, fixing meals from family recipes and trying out new ones, baking together and wearing hand-embroidered gingham aprons. Sometimes, those “trials” were not so successful. My friend, Dawn & I made our first homemade cake from “scratch:” an almond joy cake. We set it out on the front porch to cool while we went ice skating on the pond in front of my house. When we came back inside to ice the cake we discovered a big piece missing, the rest of it nailed to the wall, hard as a rock. True story. (My dad had a great sense of humor ...!)Sigh.

F.R.O.G. Fully Relying On God. Here's a link to my favorite Bible Study app. His word never returns empty.

Oil paintings of Frogs started my re-set to my artist's journey.  My oil paintings that illustrate the children's book, Fredrick the Frog ... a Life Cycle Story, authored by Ida Legget, are featured in a line of cards & tea towels. But there's more to this story - F.R.O.G. Fully Relying on God. A group of hospice nurses whom I met while working at a national homecare company introduced me to this phrase. It touched me in so many ways.  Other designs in the collection include hand-lettered Bible verses.
