Touches of BLEU...for YOU

Bonjour!

I have been rather busy still, trying to finish things outside here before we turn to very cold weather. Which does seem to be right around the corner:( Today I decided to share with you some new paintings I finished last month. Both are done in lovely shades of bleus, greens, black and my favourite ~ real touches of gold. Oooo...when the light hits them...they shine!

Le Ballet

L'horloge

These painting are available in my Etsy store HERE. They both measure 16 x 16 inches and are done on gallery wrapped canvas with the sides painted. Both of these painting were my renditions of some images I may have found on your Blog.

May everyone have a BEAUTIFUL Day!!!

~My Yellow Room's Inspirations~

Hi Everyone! This is my spare bedroom filled with goodies from my grandma's home. Original this furniture was fitted in a larger room which was painted a light shade of a pretty bleu. In my home it's in a yellow room with bleu accents. My Grandma had two twin beds and in this room I took the two headboards with the rails and made them into a day bed. Over the bed is a canopy with some sheer lacey window treatments attached, I painted a mural on that wall and am in the process to repaint something new, the wall is being sanded this week and once it's finished I'll show you the finished bed. I have some Shabby Chic linens from Target I bought a few years ago in a pretty bleu flower pattern and some bolster pillows in a bleu ticking from Ikea. I love that store.

So this is the dresser with my Grandma's beautiful lamp on it, which I love, sorta a Marie Antoinette country feel to it. My Grandma loved France. So perhaps that is where I got the bug from.

I love the detail in it, they are very delicate, so I must always be very careful when I dust.

The other side of the dresser, with the Marie Antoinette country girl with a basket and some spring flowers. I am ready for spring and all the beautiful flowers and smells that it brings.

This is the image of my little watercolour/acrylic painting framed in a lightweight white washed pine frame. Just finished it today, worked on it all last night. After a few goes at it. Another words the first two I tore up and placed them in my oops pile. I just couldn't put my brushes down. This is my version of Versailles ~ Pavillon dans le Parc. I'm going to place in my Etsy store.

So I'm thinking of a little pretty for Valentines Day ~ Roses, maybe. What do you think?

May everyone have a Great Weekend!!!:)

Bleu ~New~ Lovilies

Hi Everyone! I just started working on some new paintings, inspired by France. They are a mix of watercolour with some little touches of acrylics. I love the look of bleu and cream with touches of gold. All measuring approx 10X12 inches. I'd love to hear your thoughts on these new paintings. I am in the starting phases on developing a few more. Different backgrounds, perhaps more baroque, not quite sure just lots of sketches in my new sketchbook. French Greys I am loving today. We will see what direction I take today.

Oh...I am also thinking of listing them on Etsy...Perhaps at weeks end. What do think?
