Oh wow! You're very talented! Love those pretty paintings!
I'm shocked to learn that you've got such theft issues. Ha. These are all beautiful!!
I'm so honored that you stole one from me!!! And I must know - how much to purchase it?
I think those people should be honored that you "borrowed" from them, what a talent you have. Love all of them-
Happy day-
Oh, how wonderful!
I love that you steal, but not really, because you make it your own.
Brilliant!
Every one of these is a FAVE! Please, continue to steal! We love it!
Beautiful paintings! Hmmm... I say easy on the punshiment. Why you ask- because you painted beautiful pictures of the beautiful photographs and you came clean. Now for the punshiment- A WONDERFUL weekend filled with a box of chocolate, candles, fire and champange. Have a golden one! xoxo
Love the paintings!!Thanks for the visit to my site. Have a great Valentines...
Keep it Sweet,
Suzy
Very lovely paintings. You take a photo, and add your own unique vision and Story to it.
As long as no one gets ticked off then what the heck. :))
Your punishment should be.... Painting gobs more paintings with that wonderful fun vision full of whimsey that only YOU can see and keep sharing with us. :))
Very funny..., keep on stealin'! I leave the door to Completely Coastal unlocked..., just in case.
PS. I meant to add after, What the heck.... that, They should be flattered. :))
Dear Fifi:
Thank you so much for inviting me to your party and Paris and allowing me to be your house guest, although I DOUBT that's gonna happen again. I love the little painting of..er..well, of all my things that I left behind on that damn table when someone...I think it was "Please Sir", only because I was thinking really hard "Please Sir, don't come in here NOW!" but it could have been someone else...interrupted my lovely encounter with (I sure wish I could remember or even pronounce his name which I cannot so he'll be referred as my French Pastry from here on out) French Pastry. It all started out innocently enough. A little bubbly, a few cookies, a bit of small talk, well, actually none of that cause I can't speak French but, communication was happening! And that's when I just had to show him that my shoes matched my lovely little slip. *sigh* Maybe you are wondering how my lovely little slip ended up on the table or my shoes tossed aside under it? The thing is, I do not know! I was in champagne heaven with the tastiest French Pastry my eyes had ever seen so what's a girl to do in that situation? But then it happened! The front door opened! Someone was coming! I grabbed one more cookie and we dove out the closest window. Thank goodness Paris has all those lovely balconies or I fear this story might have had a very bad ending. I ate my cookie. We watched the
sunrise. It was not the sorted affair I was hoping for but I expect to return to Paris and will try again, maybe with Mr. Eclair! Oh, how I love him already!
So, Fifi, I apologize for leaving a little mess for you to find..and paint! And one more thing...if you find a little crown...umm..under your bed or something? It's mine. Please return it to me quickly! I feel so naked without it. Speaking of naked...Hmmm, I think that's another confession altogether and I try to limit myself to one a day.
Your friend,
Petunia who promises to behave better next time.
Oh my! You've caught us!!! I didn't think you'd mind...I invited my sweet, handsome hubby to join me...so he did! I've been looking for those shoes and my silk lingerie...I asked him to check and make sure he got everything...darn! I guess if you want it done right....ha, ha!
Would you be a dear and bring my things back with you next time...thanks, sweetie!
As far as your little "habit"...I wouldn't exactly call it stealing...it's more like borrowing inspiration! I love what you did with my chair!...how much?
All the rest of your inspirations are lovely, too! You're such a talented gal! I'm so glad we're friends!
;-D
just found your blog and I will be back...LOVE IT!
Oh my goodness, I sure wish I could paint like you. What talent you have! And I don't think you're stealing; I think you're "inspired!" And let me know if you decide to paint anything on my blog. I'd love to see it! ~Arleen
Oh you funny lil' crook! I think those folks would be flattered that you chose their prints to paint! Have a great Valentines Day FiFi!!!! CHEERS! Michele
Wow! Keep thieving!
your painting are beautiful. Wish you would "steal" a photo of mine!!
I am a lucky winner? Of a stolen painting? I'm jumping up and down right down - yay! Your punishment is nothing more than a big hug! (email to follow)... xo Jill
fifi your talent is always so inspiring... i must have you steal a picture from me for my blog! :)

LuLu
Your paintings are beautiful, as always, Fifi :) I especially love those pink tulips! Happy v-day & weekend to you ~ hugs
Love the stolen art work ;c) Have a great weekend!
Never before have I met such a creative thief!!
Keep stealin away...the end result is simply amazing!
Fantastic! I love your paintings. They have so much life!!
I wouldn't call it stealing...I would call it gaining inspiration!
Your paintings are delightful and always bring a smile to me...love the whimsy and proud to have some as my own!
Wow...did Petunia ever have a great time at the party...I wondered where she ended up when she and ...that gorgeous hunk who was the envy of all around jumped out of the closet window. I am so glad she left her slip becuase it's mine now and it fits just perfectly...unfortunately her shoes did not...I hope she finds her crown!
Blessings...
FIFI! Renae took my slip! How rude is that?! And I really liked her when I met her at your party.
Hi Fifi,
I was not an invited guest to your party in Paris, but I tagged along with someone who was.
First, I must tell you that both Petunia and Renae, are stealing MY slip. You see, Petunia doesn't know that the person who walked in on them was me and my boy toy. A gorgeous hunk, with golden brown wavy hair and gorgeous green eyes. We were trying to find a nice romantic place in which to have a little fun and somehow ended up at your place. I saw there was a slip there and realized this is the spot that people like to have these type of special encounters. So I took that slip with me and left mine behind.
I didn't see a crown though, I would have taken that too!
Fifi: I think many of your kind were invited to that party of yours. Thieves! BUT! I think that means Renae got Violet's stinky slip. *giggle* Sorry for saying something bad about, Renae. *sweet smile* BFF's?
I am amazed at how easy it is for you to paint! I wish that I could take lessons from you! I wonder if art lessons via skype would ever be effective?
We're sure you could get off easy from your bad habit!! Who could charge anything {but their credit cards!!} to you....beautiful pictures as always Fifi!!
Funny! How do you have time to whip up all these paintings? I love all the pinks.
x
Gorgeous, as always. Drawn to the flowers today on Valentines Day. Happy Day! A-M xx
I love your artwork; thank you for commenting on my blog - I'm glad you did so I was able to find yours!
I love those pink tulips! Beautiful!
hey - you can steal from any of my pictures anytime. :)
Beautiful!
Fifi,
I think Violet had way too much Veuve Cliqot!
Great fun....as for the MIA painting..let's wait until the end of next week and see what happens, I really hate for you to repaint...
Blessings...
Oh please please please steal something from me! Love your thefts so far! Come visit hill country house!
J'aime beaucoup ta façon de voir les choses au travers de tes dessins
Pascale
I don't believe you have a theft problem. There is nothing new under the sun...we all recycle, add, embellish and grow. Love, love, love your art...and your humor.
you can steel my photos any time to turn into such loveliness.
I think you punishment should be a glass of bubbly and a few chocolates!
please !
keep stealing !
xx
Love the paintings, whatever you do....don't stop stealing!
