"La France Pour L'ete" (France for the Summer) SOLD

"La France Pour L'ete"

6 x 6 in oil on museum quality panel
$200

Ahhh.....la France pour l'ete'.....France for the summer.  The minute the windows are flung open, all the  memories of past summers come rushing back.  Books to unpack to be read later, a  paint box of watercolors, and lots of pen and paper for writing.  That's about all that's needed.  French countryside provides the rest.  Roses blooming just outside the window, sun shining on weathered walls and endless summer days.

 For now, just lean in the door way and take it all in....the first day of summer in France.  What are you gonna do?

"Bliss Blue French" SOLD

"Bliss Blue French"

6 x 6 in oil on museum quality panel

$200

Periwinkle blue is a favorite color of mine.  Obviously I am not alone in this ----  turn down any street in the south of France and you're likely to happen upon this delicious color dusted onto shutters, doors, gates and the like.  And what always makes the blue so blissful is the addition of just the right touch of pinks and reds in the way of a scented welcome. 

 On this spring day, I am heading out to the market to pick up a loaf of fresh baked--what else---French bread..:))  Later my friends (you know who you are...:)) and I will share it, with a big dollop of creamy butter, and sip our glasses of Merlot together....and since it's such a lazy, blissful afternoon.... we'll spend the rest of the day curled up in overstuffed chairs with our favorite books.  And maybe take a nap....Eddie says 16 hours of sleep a day is just the right amount....:)  This is one time I am not going to argue with Eddie....

They say the first step in getting help is admitting you have a problem. Well, I am admitting I have a fixation on windows. Especially French windows. However, I am just gonna go ahead and say it. I don't want your help. I can handle this. I am still in control. Just a window a day. That's all. Well, on a day I am feeling nervous, maybe a window and half. But that's it. Seriously. Okay. If you see me post two window paintings in one day, then call for help.
