That painting is gorgeous! I need to check out your Etsy shop.
I like seeing the process you go through in creating your fun paintings! Hope your toe is a little better, I know there's nothing the doctors can do except painkillers.
Hi Fifi,
Really sorry to hear about your toe
and I hope that you are feeling better.
What an amazing view looking out from Alek's dream studio. One would not want to do a lick of work.
Love your painting.
Hugs

Oh, my...just beautiful, FiFi...
I am such a fan of yours. Your talent is awesome. Now...off to ck your shop..
Fab painting, Fifi! My vitural happy place really isn't a place. I love searching around the blogging world for cottages that I can see inside and out. There is just something about a little cottage...
You are very talented. The picture is beautiful.
Fifi! You poor poor thing! I hope your on the end! I'm glad that you painted the Eiffel tower and not your bright blue toe!
Love what you did Fifi! You are such a talented artist. I think all of your paintings have a joie de vivre in them - they make me happy when I look at them!
ouch!
Hope your toe recovers quickly.
Your picture is beautiful.
My Happy Place??? It is hard to pick one. Life is so full of wonderful places and great experiences. Today I would have to say that my happiest place is when I am laughing and enjoying my husband and kids. Its about them right now!
Ouch! So sorry hope your toe is feeling better soon.
Oh Fifi! Sorry to hear about your toe! I'll bet you could turn even that into a fun picture!lol At least you have an excuse to not run around for a few days!!!lol That's why I don't play golf; my feet are so large I'd probably be hitting them with the club rather than the ball!!lol I know I know that's not what you did!!!! Feel better - Sincerely, Jeannette
i wish you would show MORE of your process ( when you paint ).
i enjoyed seeing the drawing........and then the color added later.
pretty cool.
how's that toe of yours ?
xx
Poor baby. When one little toe hurts, the whole body hurts. Love the finished product. Happy Blue Monday.
sorry about the toe! hope it's feeling better.
:)
I hope you feel much better as the day goes on Fifi dear!
xo
As always, I love your art. Hope your toe is healing and not painful any longer.
Nice job! I also like to see the process from the view to the final painting.
Gee whiz Girl, hope the toe is on the fast mend. I've had broken toes before; no fun at all! The painting is great. Keep your spirits up.
Dear Fifi, How wonderful that you can go home to rest your poor toe and draw a delightful Paris scene. That is a happy place. The finished art piece is so pretty and well done.
Hugs...Jeanne
...gotta love a gal who can turn a day like that around...and make it into artwork...applause...
I love it FiFi!!
I have to say, your comment about your toe on my blog made me snicker:) I AM SO SORRY!!!!
I kicked a 3lb hand weight in my closet the other day and SCREWED up my toenail...there goes my FLIPFLOPS~! argh lol
I LOVE the new painting, it is beautiful friend!!
this painting is just adorable! hope you're feeling better, Fifi!
You made a happy day for me just seeing your beautiful drawing! I love your artwork, girl. Just yesterday I posted of a very old piece of artwork that I have saved until I new exactly where to put it, and reminds me so much of your work. I posted in a hurry, and didn't find your link, but I did give you a shout out. For me, Paris, or a distant, dreamy island would be the perfect happy place.

Fifi, you are such a talented artist. I think what I love most is your use of color AND your paintings always seem so happy.
Bonnie
PS - hope your toe is doing better!
OOOhhh... Poor you. I hate it when that happens. And I'm kinda clumsy so it happens to me often. But your happy place brought us a lovely painting!
Blessings... Polly (French Cupboard & Counting Your Blessings)
Oh, I know the pain! (I broke 3 toes at once).
Beautiful painting!
Happy blue Monday
Fifi, I'm so sorry about your toe!!
I hope it feels better soon. I love the view out of that window and your painting is beautiful as usual. :) Get well soon!
Your happy place is very pretty. Sorry about your toe!
OH NO.. I have done that to my toes..and OUCH. It takes so long to go away. I hope you're feeling much better now. But your painting is AWESOME. Out of pain came such beauty. Hugs to you. Hope your back onto the golf course in no time.
i loved this photo when i first saw it and your interpretation, visually, is just perfect. you're so talented.
SO sorry about your toe. Hopefully it won't take too long to heal. I love your picture!
Very cheerful painting! Oh how I loved being in Paris...that will always remain the "happy place" in my mind. Hope your toe is feeling better quickly.
I hope you are feeling better!
Come on over and check out your interview posted on my blog today.
Prend soin de toi!
Thank you so much for this, Fifi! I'm honored that it's "my" studio. ;) It's beautiful - like all of your work! I hope you are doing better today.
Fifi,
Hope you lil' toe is on it's way to healing. I love your interview with Kelli. Beautiful artwork exhibited.
Kris
What a stunning picture you painted! You are so talented. :)
Oww! I hate when I hurt my toes - at least it's flip flop weather. Hope you are better soon.
My happy place is a comfy chair on the back porch of a beach cottage looking out at an empty beach and listening to the waves.
i find golf extremely frustrating.
i hope your toe feels better very soon! i love your painting!
Dearest Fifi

You were able to make lemonade out of lemons! So sorry about your toe, but happy to see another fabulous painting!
Hi fifi,
Love this Paris desk drawing, would be quite happy with this one. How wonderful that you can paint your way out of a blue monday!

hope your toe is getting better.. and how I wish the view from my window is that beautiful.. looking at the Eiffel Tower! Happy Blue Monday!
Oh no!!! Hope you're feeling better. For such little body parts broken toes hurt a LOT.
LOVE the painting. And...could you IMAGINE that being your home office view?! I think I'd actually look forward to working!
Oh dear Fifi, there must be something in the air re feet. I just got off the phone from a girlfriend who's nursing a stress fracture of her foot caused she reckons from too many walks on the soft sand at the beach! Go figure!
I feel your pain & frustration - take it easy girl, at least your wonderful creativity won't be stifled.
Millie ^_^
OUCHy darling...feel better now...
What a dreammmy view! should I enlarge the pi & paste it on my window?! Fab new week to you! XO*
Oh Fifi, so sorry about your toe, hope it is better now, it takes a second to get hurt and XXXX....to heal! Pity! but at least we can enjoy another beautiful drawing and painting of yours.
Take care,
Albarosa
...love what you've done with the the beautiful windowscape of the eiffel tower. Your drawings have a real whimsical and fun sense of style to them. Wish I had time to paint more.
My girlfriend commissioned me to do a painting of an eagle....let me tell you - the Eiffel Tower is infinitely more inspiring and exciting LOL !!
