Ok haven't eaten breakfast yet and now you've got my stomach rumbling, guess I'll have to go get a nice cup of amaretto coffee - unfortunately I have NO pink mugs to put it in!

Fifi, I enjoyed the juxtaposition of your photos and your art. Your style is reminiscent of Matisse. Your images make me think about what I enjoy about weekends - a cup of tea, the Sunday papers and time with family. Cute Halloween kids!

Thanks for your visit and kind comments!
Glad you liked the Wisdom Project gift..!
P.S the photos of the canal are all mine, I have lots more...yeah; I live a couple of minutes away - I love the area I'm forever taking photos; I don't keep all of them though..:)

Anna Lefler said...

Fantastic! I love your style, Fifi... It is so...snesivol. That's a super-sophisticated art term. No, really. (OK, I cheated. That's the word verification word for this comment. I will strive to learn a real super-sophisticated art term in time for my next comment. Drat.)

Hope you had a great weekend.

:^) Anna

P.S. "Great" is a real word. I know that one for a fact.

Unknown said...

With all of your pink Parisian things I was wondering why I hadn't seen you in Pink Saturday before this!
I am thinking about the blogging adventures.

Unknown said...

Love your paintings. :) I can almost smell the coffee. :)

RoyalTLady said...

Fifi,
I have been closely watching your wonderful blog... SUPERB! And very unique.

How do I upload picture on my front page for you to paint (the teapots and peacock).

I would be honored to have one.

Donna said...

Love the tea cup paintings! And congrats to Penny!
