Blue Shutters - France.


Blue Shutters
8x6in oil on linen panel  $130. SOLD


This is the same french house as in my last post.
 Ivy covers the walls in this area 
and the table with the plants has an old,
 but more elegant chair than I would ever have outside.
(I love the french flair!)
Obviously someone sits there while potting the plants.
Talk about having a green thumb.

  15. Ah Julie - I have missed visiting your blog...you have been busy with the gorgeous peonies and the blue shutters. What a wonderful memory of your mother putting out her canaries when the weather turned nice. I bet you must miss England very much. Love that French flair too- beautiful as always dear friend. Hope you have a lovely week. P.S. Love blogs - not so crazy about Facebook. Hugs!

  17. Return to Warsaw a bit 'rough, problems with hacking, tied to my email account and blogger ... I take my readings and my comments hoping it's not true that they have lost all the pictures of my blog and to have all to be published again.
    Your paintings full of grace and color exhort me to hope in the goodness of Google. The world is so beautiful through your paintings!
