En Savoie, les fenêtres et les balcons de nos chalets sont divinement et généreusement fleuris. <br />Votre merveilleuse peinture me les rappelle.<br />Les couleurs sont sublimes et si harmonieuses. La lumière vient flirter avec les fleurs comme pour les mettre en scène... Un travail fabuleux !<br /><br />Gros bisousmartinealisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055152925986659065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-45741908771106390432015-05-26T02:22:56.043-06:002015-05-26T02:22:56.043-06:00The window and the flowers compliment each other w...The window and the flowers compliment each other with their beauty.
