Bonjour chère Julie,
ReplyDeleteJe comprends que ce fameux coq soit passé à la casserole !! sourire... enfin qu'il ait trouvé acheteur !
Il est absolument extraordinaire ! Quelle élégance, il a ! L'emblème de la France est le coq, il ferait l'affaire !
J'aime beaucoup le damier de son plumage qu'on retrouve parcimonieusement dans la toile. Un soupçon qui apporte une belle note.
Gros bisous 🌸
Translation:
DeleteI understand that this famous cock has passed to the pan !! smile ... finally that he found buyer!
It is absolutely amazing! What elegance he has! The emblem of France is the rooster, it would do!
I love the checkerboard of its plumage that is found parsimoniously in the canvas. A hint that brings a nice note.
Thank you so much, dear Martine. Visiting your blog os a pure delight.
Ha, rooster with a checkered past! Catchy title there. It sounds like you are still working very had at the move. How much longer before you are settled in and can continue refining your new living quarters at a more relaxed pace?
ReplyDeleteThe house just sold. 12 days on market. Now to pack. We have to be out early November. Going to be very busy.
DeleteThe place we are moving to does not have an available unit. Sigh....
Thanks for visiting Carol.
Fabulous fabulous fabulous ! What more can I say, I LOVE this painting !
ReplyDeleteI love your fabulous - thanks Jane. I always feel that way when I visit your blog.
DeleteFabulous rooster, Julie. You definately captured that shabby chic farmhouse feel. Such fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol, it was fun doing it. Decorative art is a lot more freeing. Maybe not long term. I enjoy the fine art so much.
DeleteAnd I always enjoy the mixture of landscapes and still life paintings you do. We are twins in out taste!
Ha! That's great fun. Love it!
ReplyDeleteHi Trudy - you know how busy I am at the moment, but I love knowing who you are. Thanks for the visit.

ReplyDeleteYes - she did a great one with Stanley - your guy. I marvel at what he does...and what YOU do.
DeleteThanks for the great comment.
Gosh Julie this is wonderful and the name couldn't be more appropriate. Sounds like you are getting things moved about. Bet you can't wait until everything is done and in place. Take care and have a super day. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYes - busy as can be. Taking its toll. Missing visiting blogs. But we are blessed it sold and now the packing to move. Have a month. It will all be fine.

DeleteLOVE this rooster. It reminds me of the pet rooster I had many years ago. My husband found it on the highway and we had it until he died ....his name was checkers!!!! Lol.
ReplyDeleteI love knowing you had a pet rooster. Wow...and the name is fabulous!!! Thanks for the visit, dear friend.
