sunday spaces: Murfreesboro Secret Gardens Tour#1

I sit here with more than four hundred photographs of six secret gardens from here in the Boro and my thoughts are focused on the people I met or didn’t meet. Each one inspired me in the most humble way. I got dressed up a bit and off I went … just , my camera & me in Tennessee.

Plan on enjoying, each space with me as a special production of sunday spaces for summer 2011. We’re  going to take things a bit slower for the summer as we always do in the south. You know kinda … down by the river SLOW.

For a donation of ten dollars, visitors, such as myself were able to drink in the lusciousness of six very different garden spaces. This week for Sunday spaces, I am sharing with you the friendship garden of Kirby McCain.

The secret Garden brochure tells me that Kirby’s garden is an expression of her love of color and these photographs are evidence of just that … would you not agree.

Multitudes on Mondays: HE knows best

Multitudes on Mondays. Today, In continuous moments of Thanksgiving …

#27 … I’m Thankful that HE knows best.

Not long ago … I wrote about public transportation and the feelings of a new season for this creative girl, but I just had no idea HOW … HE was planning to bless us and I am so completely grateful and I’ll be singing praises to HIM all the days of my life. Not for what HE does but who HE is. Someone from our Church gave us this SUV, and we will call her Big Red

sunday spaces: Dyan Whyte

Welcome to Sunday Spaces and please allow me to introduce to you painter Dyan Whyte. Dyan is an artist and dreamer, a dreamer and an artist. Creative Girl and CCO … you know Chief Creative Officer. Yes, I say that all the time … cause this is who we are and I want us to own it like we own the skin we are in.  All content and photos of this Sunday Space are the property of Dyan Whyte and have been republished here with permission & grace. You just gotta love this creative gal  … I’m Thankful to Dyan for sharing her inspiring story here on Sunday Spaces

It’s my favourite little corner, not too cluttered, a big desk for paintbrushes

and larger boards and a pretty chair cushion.


That’s Theresa in the corner, she watches the paintbrushes and occasionally helps with figure studies.

My Kimmidoll ,I found her in a little boutique one Sunday afternoon

about a year ago, her name is Yumi – beauty.

I like to think that she is a reminder for me to create beauty everyday and in my art.

It’s all a part of what makes this space sacred for me -

the fact that it’s a creative and meditative space for working and the cycles of beginning,

creating and closing a new painting with little things that have meaning to me -

even if it’s the simple act of cleaning brushes!


Dyan shares her work and life on her self titled blog Dyan Whyte

Check it out … your sure to love the quiet beauty there.

True strength lies in submission which permits one to dedicate his life,

gifts of the moments …
