Description: A bold, gothic, inky-black heart edged with a delicate trim. Nestled inside that heart are two roses. Tiny red buds and dark leaves spill around them, creating a dramatic contrast with the softness of the petals. The overall mood is richly romantic with a dark, bittersweet edge An ornate border frames everything: curling vines, thorny filigrees, and symmetrical corner flourishes in deep red and black that feel both decorative and slightly menacing. Small red hearts punctuate the design above and below the central motif ABOUT THE ART © Friday, January 16, 2026, 10:57:05 AM Tracey Harrington Simpson
Description: A single, large black rose, whose layered petals open into two delicate spider webs. Around this dark focal bloom cluster, four additional roses in rich, saturated tones of deep crimson and blush pink against a backdrop of serrated leaves in muted green-black Thorn-laced vines that curl upward and outward, their elegant flourishes borrowing from Art Nouveau ornamentation. Perched on those curling stems are two stylized spiders, which balance the floral softness with a deliberate, slightly menacing counterpoint. ABOUT THE ART © Friday, January 16, 2026, 10:28:31 AM Tracey Harrington Simpson
Description: A single rose, its petals arranged to form an almost-heart-shaped silhouette, both delicate and somber. Surrounding the dark core is a ring of smaller, more stylized petals in a vivid magenta-pink. The magenta petals create a scalloped graphic mandala. Beneath the bloom, thin, ink-like drips fall into the black background, as if the flower were melting or bleeding pigment. The image balances gothic elegance and decorative flourish: beautiful, a little melancholic, and intensely controlled in its symmetry and color. ABOUT THE ART © Friday, January 16, 2026, 9:53:18 AM Tracey Harrington Simpson
Description: A dark, dramatic composition: a large, perfectly formed black rose in subtle gradients of charcoal. Flanking this central bloom are two blush-pink roses, their gentle pastel tones providing a warm, tender contrast to the central darkness. The arrangement is shaped into a heart by a thoughtful weaving of thorny stems, curled vines, and blackened leaves that frame the flowers. The softness and warmth of pink roses is interlaced with the somber beauty of the black bloom and shadowy leaves. ABOUT THE ART © Friday, January 16, 2026, 9:12:54 AM Tracey Harrington Simpson
Description: A heart-shaped wreath of tightly packed: the blossoms are a mix of deep black, red and soft blush-pink, arranged so the darker blooms form an outer border while the reds and pinks cluster toward the center. The petals have analmost tactile presence. Centered inside the floral heart is the word "Ghoulentines Day" in a decorative, Gothic script: a playful mash-up of romance and horror. A Halloween-themed valentine: romantic yet eerie, elegant yet mischievous. Gothic, whimsical, and a little bit sinister. ABOUT THE ART © Friday, January 16, 2026, 8:35:51 AM Tracey Harrington Simpson
Description: A perfectly centered, black heart dominates the center of the composition. Framing the heart is a wreath of roses. The blooms alternate between deep crimson and delicate blush-pink. Charcoal-green leaves add contrast and a slightly gothic edge. The overall effect is elegant and moody: the softness and warmth of the roses encircle the cold, opaque core of the black heart, suggesting a tension between tenderness and solemnity, light and shadow. Will you be my ghoulentine? ABOUT THE ART © Friday, January 16, 2026, 6:50:07 AM Tracey Harrington Simpson
Description: A heart-shaped wreath with a silhouette crisply defined by a ring of small roses in varying shades of pink and red. At the center sits a single, oversized rose. The contrast between the deep, absorbing center and the brighter, delicate blooms around it creates a dramatic focal point. The surrounding roses are arranged with careful symmetry. Gentle highlights trace the curves of petals, while shadows fall into the folds, emphasizing depth and the tactile quality of each bloom. The composition balances romance and mystery: haunting, elegant beauty. ABOUT THE ART © Friday, January 16, 2026, 6:11:51 AM Tracey Harrington Simpson
Description: Dominating an oval are three black roses clustered tightly so their outer petals form a heart-like silhouette. The roses are rendered with crisp, layered lines and thin outlines. Behind and between the blooms, spiky leaves radiate outward, adding a hint of menace. The surrounding frame is baroque and gothic at once: deep crimson and black scrollwork weaves into symmetrical floral motifs at the four corners and at the top and bottom centers. The whole piece is meticulously balanced as a blend of romanticism and darkness ABOUT THE ART © Thursday, January 15, 2026, 2:01:10 PM Tracey Harrington Simpson
Description: A single rose shaped like a heart. The petals spiral inward in precise, layered folds, each one a deep slate-blue that verges on black. The center tightens into a classic rosette, while the outer petals unfurl into the curved lobes that create the heart profile. Delicate spiderwebs stretch across the upper curves. Tiny beads cling to the petal edges, suggesting embers or drops. Crimson warms and heightens the petal contours without breaking the composition’s cool, nocturnal palette. A night-bloom and a relic. ABOUT THE ART © Thursday, January 15, 2026, 1:25:24 PM Tracey Harrington Simpson
Description: A heart of a dense cluster of black roses, each bloom tightly layered so the whole heart feels both sumptuous and a little sinister. The petals catch a cool, muted light so that inner shadows pool between them, giving the arrangement a carved, almost three-dimensional depth. A wide, glossy pink garland wraps around the top of the heart and is tied into a perfectly neat bow: it contrasts sharply with the matte darkness of the roses. Two long tails spiral down in graceful, curling motions.Scattered near the base are small, bright heart-shaped confetti pieces softening the overall gloom. ABOUT THE ART © Thursday, January 15, 2026, 12:50:55 PM Tracey Harrington Simpson
Description: A heart forms from a dense cluster of black roses, each bloom rendered with velvety, tightly layered petals. A red ribbon snakes through the arrangement. Thorny stems and branches spiral outward from the heart, their sharp points and tiny red-tipped buds adding a spiky, almost defensive frame. The composition is both sumptuous and severe: a gothic, romantic tableau where softness (the plush petals and silken ribbon) meets thorns. Dramatic: beautiful yet forbidding, intimate but distant, a striking study in contrast between dark and vivid color.
Description: A quiet, reverent scene is rendered in the sinuous, decorative lines of late-19th/early-20th-century illustration. At the center, St Brigid in a flowing white gown stands beside a large, gentle cow. The woman’s hand resting lightly on the cow’s head suggests a calm companionship. The color palette is restrained and harmonious: soft creams contrast with muted greens, while delicate linework defines both figures and ornament. The overall effect is serene and slightly timeless, part mythic portrait, part pastoral allegory. © Wednesday, January 14, 2026, 1:02:24 PM Tracey Harrington Simpson

Description: A stylized, poster-like illustration in soft, muted tones centers on a serene St. Brigid, who seems half saint, half spring guardian. She wears a pale, hooded cloak that drapes around her shoulders. Her expression is calm and slightly introspective, a quietly compassionate presence. The whole scene is contained in an ornate Art Nouveau–inspired border: curling vines, stylized leaves, and knotwork in green and gold echo the natural motifs inside the image. At the bottom, a simple plaque bears the word “IMBOLC,” naming the festival the piece evokes. The composition, color palette and decorative details together create a mood of gentle hope and quiet transition—from winter’s hush toward the first stirrings of new life.
Description: A quiet, devotional stillness fills the image. St. Brigid stands framed by an ornate arch, her head slightly bowed and her hands clasped near her chest as if in private prayer or gentle reverie. Her face is rendered with soft, warm tones, a calm, almost wistful expression. The background is richly patterned with stylized leaves and tendrils in muted greens, framed by an ornate border with four corner motifs that nod to late-19th/early-20th-century decorative art. The whole composition favors sinuous outlines and harmonious symmetry. © Monday, January 12, 2026, 2:49:26 PM Tracey Harrington Simpson
Description: A serene, devotional scene unfolds in a soft, decorative palette. At the center stands St Brigid, rendered with calm dignity: reflective eyes turned slightly upward as if listening or remembering. Her expression is gentle and introspective: a contemplative, almost hymn-like quiet. The surrounding border is of repeating, foliate tracery and curling lines: the feel of a devotional print. The linework is clean and flowing, the patterns symmetrical, and the color scheme of soft creams, sage greens, and dusky blues lends the image a timeless, tranquil aura. © Monday, January 12, 2026, 2:03:59 PM Tracey Harrington Simpson
Description: St Brigid as a young woman draped in a pale, creamy veil and cloak; the fabric falls in gentle folds around her shoulders and frames her face. Her hair is a warm chestnut, loose and slightly wavy, slipping out from beneath the veil. Her expression is calm and contemplative, eyes half‑lowered, a faint, thoughtful softness at her lips suggesting introspection or prayer. She holds a small cluster of delicate white snowdrop flowers close to her hands, fingers curled protectively around the stems. The entire scene recalls Art Nouveau design. Greens and soft teals dominate the background, punctuated by the white of the snowdrops. The overall effect is one of peaceful grace.
Description: A vibrant cluster of red poppy flowers. Several blossoms are in full bloom, displaying their characteristic scarlet petals and dark centers. Additionally, there are a couple of unopened buds, promising future bursts of color. The atmosphere is simple and unadorned. Matthew 6:28-31. “And why would you worry about your clothing? Look at all the beautiful flowers of the field. They don't work or toil, and yet not even Solomon in all his splendor was robed in beauty like one of these!

Description: St. Dwynwen's Day is Wales' very own version of St Valentine's Day. Legend has it, an angel ended her arranged marriage gone wrong by freezing her husband, became a nun, and ended up as an agony aunt with the help of sacred fish.
