Oh, what a gorgeous blue bedroom & view of the Seine - I want to go!

Piper Jacquelyn said...

UMMM, that pic overlooking the Seine is BEAUTIFUL! WOW, I wish my view was that. Rather than the busiest street in Omaha - DODGE street. Not even a pretty name, ugh!

Hi Fifi,

Yes, I am sure a few more days will be needed in that wonderful City.
Have fun. Lovely paintings.

Fifi, I always look forward to your posts to see what new Parisian scene you'll have. I've stayed in an apartment that had a view of the Eiffel Tower and one that was on the Isle St. Louis right on the Quai. Wonderful memories!
Thanks for sharing on a Blue Monday!

What a view of the Seine from that place! And your rendering, as always, so fresh and beautiful.

Wonderfully creative as always. You have spoiled us. I love the photo of the terrace overlooking the Seine. I could "hang" there for a few days :-). I hope you are having a wonderful day.

Lynn said...

Your metamorphosis from photo to painting are always so fresh and spectacular. Love to stop by your blog and just wander through your artwork.

Hey Friend, As usual, you're continuing to outshine yourself! I possibly found a venue for you to sell your cards in a shop in Charleston, SC. A "Posh" shop that you would adore! Pricey, but well shopped amongst the locals and the tourists. I sent you an email about it...hoping I can get you "connected" to Jeanne! :) Hugs~ ~CC Catherine
