For those of you ... me included... experiencing stay-in-doors weather... I thought I would bring you to an amazing indoor garden... the NYC apartment of a woman named Bronte...
This is Bronte... does she look familiar... yes... this is the set of Green Card... 
Her garden extends outdoors to a rooftop garden...
I thought with such dreary weather Bronte could use a dress like this to brighten her day while gardening... watering... of course she has practical garden boots... 
Such a lovely greenhouse... perfect for dining...
Won't you join me... a little red wine... mixed field greens with warm fried goat cheese and a lovely champagne vinaigrette... crusty French baguette... along with an apple tartlette for dessert...
Stay as long as you like enjoying the gardens... the wine (yes... I have a few bottles)... and the sounds of Enya (from the movie soundtrack)... BUT... you must promise to pop over and visit Beverly of How Sweet the Sound to see what all the PINK girls are up to on this PINK Saturday!
Paintings in this post are for sale... and they are also available as prints and frameable notecards.
Don't Forget to come shop at "Fifiby's Art Auction" on Tuesday... Flower themed artwork will be up for auction... grab your number paddles... I've got my gavel!

Morning, Fifiness! You never disappoint with your lovely posts and artwork!
Have a glorious weekend,
Shelia ;)
Oh...I ALWAYS think back to that garden. I think that is why I loved that movie.(That, and I used to have people stop me on the street asking if I was Andie Macdowell).
Thanks for the beautiful reminder...and I love your paintings! Going to go get the one you sent us framed today..I'll send you a pic when it is done!
Hey Fifi...I proudly show off your work with a button on my blog that goes right back to your site.
Signed, Sadly not on your blog roll

My favorite movie scenes!!!! I loved that movie. Just saw it recently too. The music and that garden is heavenly. Thanks for setting my tone for the day. Great paintings and scene setting for it all. Happy Pink Saturday.
oh Green Card is one of my favorite movies! I fell in love with her garden, plus I love movies with Girard Depardieu.
Beautiful paintings!! lovely dress with garden boots!!

Beautiful, Fifi! I loved the movie "Green Card" and the garden as well. And your drawings are amazing as usual.
Wishing you a Happy Pink Saturday!
XO,
Sheila :-)
It is snowing like crazy right now and only 17 degrees! This is a PERFECT way to get away and into the garden. I hope you don't mind, but I featured one of your paintings from today's blog over on my blog for Pink Saturday! Pop on over if you get a chance! I LOVE the painting!
I adore the indoor fountain! There is a land mark mansion in our area Stan Hewett Hall that has a garden room with a similar fountain..
Happy Saturday!
Castle... that dress would be perfect for watering weeds!
Woman... happy to enchant you!

So beautiful! I remember that garden. Wouldn't it be lovely to have one like it? Happy Pink Saturday!
Erin :)
You have Fifi. You have. :))
I came back for another dose of Sun shine.
mmm...I am absorbing the beauty!
Positively gorgeous way to start the weekend - thanks for reminding us about this amazing garden dear Fifi! It's such an oasis of calm & contentment & then's Gerard D. (back in his prime before the recent bouhaha where the paparazzi managed to snap him sans swimming trunks, not his finest moment!).
Millie ^_^
Wow, so beautiful as always Fifi!
Beautiful. Happy weekend, Fifi!
I feel like I just had a little vacation...I'll have to come by again soon to visit your blog some more. You do lovely work:-)
Amazing inside Garden! I saw something similar when I lived there many years ago in NYC! Even a window box of dirt is sacred! LOL!
Happy Pink Sat! Love your painting! So fun!

Hi Fifi,

I recognize that girl watering from Bazaar! It's Deborah Lloyd from Kate Spade! Exquisite!
How beautiful your drawings are Fifi!!!
I need as dress like that to garden in! I have never forgot the apartment that movie was filmed in...the rooftop garden is perfectly dreamy.
How extraordinary. I remember watching Green Card and just loving it - the humor, the beauty of the plants.
Beautiful! we are so excited!!
blessings,
kari & kijsa
Amazing job!!! I enjoy your art so very much!!!
Ah...Greencard and lovely Bronte - I have pined over her decor and that greenhouse garden many times.
I love the ones of the ladies wearing evening clothes to do mundane chores...those always tickle me!
oooooh...I had forgotten about that movie...been ages and ages since I saw it.Love your interpretaions...as usual!
Can't wait to get my package...can't wait for my daughter to see her surprise...thanks, Fifi, for getting it out so quickly!
Have a happy week!
