| Dore Callaway Art and Home Designs. The trouble with beauty is that it's difficult to agree exactly what it is. |
 |
| Everything I create around has a charm of it's own, an imperfection here and there rather then perfection; it's the imperfections that makes it interesting. |

| The white rose has retained its association with both love and formal ceremony. Everlasting love that endure beyond all else. |
 |
| I have been painting white roses sometimes called "the flower of light." I am taking time to paint in its calm. " Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time." ~ Thomas Merton |
 |
| When painting, a stillness comes over me letting go and freeing myself in what bonds me to its pureness. Everyday I see a part of art I've never seen before. |
 |
| I paint on wood paneling, the roughness reminds me of grained linen canvas. Artists centuries ago used this practice, and I want to feel the soul in each panel as artists before me. I then frame them in with salvage scraps of wood; making sure it speaks to me calling out, "I am done." |
 |
| It's then on completion that I am no longer its creator and a sense of sadness comes over me when it's completed. With each dipping of brush to paint, and the blending of colour, emotions tie me to each piece. |
 |
| Garden salvage inspires. |

 |
| Soon my art will be added to my peaceful etsy shop, "BurlapLuxe" |
 |
| I dip brush into my soul, while painting grace in ones heart. |
 |
| Everyday I am inspired by its little imperfections. |
