It was a weekend of sports, flowers and family... starting with flag football in the park... my teen's first football game of the season for his school... they won 39-0...
Although this sporting event was not in a flowery setting... he is my little FLOWER... and he received a purple belt at his karate belt ceremony (demostration here before receiving new belt... note the orange belt) ... we are so proud of our boys!
Flowers can be seen all around the golf course...
Look there's Mr. Flowers searching for his lost golf ball...
Isn't this spectacular... to be painted in the future I'm sure...
Fifi and her cute golf shoes... it's all about fashion on the course... snapping pictures waiting for hubby to make his shots... Fifi had a MARVELOUS game and her ball was already on the green!
Andddddd... here is what I ended up with...
Maybe this painting will make its way to Paris like one of my other paintings that Laura of World in a Pan (who happens to be Mary-Laure's mother) displays on her bedroom wall... 
I would say our weekend was lovely... nice weather... beautiful surroundings... family... doesn't get much better than that! How was your weekend?

Back home relaxing after all our sporting events... Fifi went into her studio to paint inspiration she found visiting Mary-Laure of Aurea... is her Weekend Dahlia photo not absolutely beautiful...
A little paint and a piece of archival paper... let the painting games begin...

Good morning Fifi :)
It sounds as though your weekend was perfect. We've been busy with de-"rue"-ing the house, but spending time with hubby is great no matter what ;)
Beautiful painting!
hugs,

Our weekend was great too, mostly because of your post "Trip to Brazil". Everybody was so excited around here! It was my parents marriage aniversary and they love the gift I gave them, wich is their house´s paiting by you!
Thanks again, Fifi! It was wonderful!
So happy you had such a blessed weekend. A Big CONGRATULATIONS to your son on that purple belt! I know he's put a lot of work into getting where he is right now.
Oh my word Fifi, that Dahlia is positively gorgeous! And that painting takes my breath away, very pretty!
Happy Monday - Debbie
Well that sounds exactly how weekends should be!
...And your shoes are happening, girl!!
Oh Fifi.... I LOVE love love seeing your painting in process pics!!!! Please please show more??!!!!
It is just AMAZING to see my picture transformed into your painting! I love "seeing" an artist at work.
Thank you so much for your comment on my blog... brought me here... I love your artwork--so vibrant and spellbinding. I will be adding you to my artsy blogroll. I especially enjoyed the Brazil post. I lived in Rio and Sao Paulo for a little under three years during my teens, and I have a special place in my heart for this warm, friendly country. Your art work and all the wonderful pictures do it justice.
Sounds like an amazing weekend - and those floral paintings - WOW! Probably one of my favs for sure!
sounds perfect to me.
mine was good too.
gotta love that tae kwon do- my son is a black belt and it has been such a good program for him- it's amazing to see what they can do!
Looks like you had a perfect weekend, ours was great too..geez, how do you fit all that in and then have the time and inspiration to paint?
Wht a lovely weekend you had, how perfect to spend the "last days" of summer outside. I worked at a friend's wine festival and it was packed with people enjoying a day they'll have to strain to remember when they are shoveling snow in February.
And how wonderful to see the painting of my photo "in place" on Laura's bedroom wall in Paris!
Looks like a lovely weekend for the whole family. Your's is a very sporty family. :)
Love the painting and showing how you painted it.
Beautiful paintings and fun photos!!! Looks like a fantastic weekend!
My weekend was totally lazy and I loved it!

Sounds like a delightful weekend.
Our 18 year old granddaughter has studied TKD since she was 11. She's working on her third degree black belt. I remember all those classes and tournaments and things when she was starting out, up to present day. Special times for all of us.
The painting is fabulous, Fifi!
Congrats to your son! Your painting is absolutely gorgeous!

I should take a picture of my golf shoes, I think you'd love them. I just need to get a set of clubs so I can actually wear them!
