Inspiration: Berthe Morisot and Manet by Caroline Champetier

Pink Rose and Brioche on Blue and White Still Life,
Oil on 6"x6" Linen Panel
SOLD
Private Residence in Sydney, Australia

Yes, it finally arrived! I love, love, love beautiful, romantic movies allow me to imagine that I could be transported to their time. Berthe Morisot and Manet by Caroline Champetier is such a movie. It's been on my list of "wants" that I keep for my husband for a long while, but he seemed to have a hard time finding it as it was a made-for-TV French movie.

Well, not too long ago, I was surprised with it and I've watched it several times since. It is in French with no subtitles, so I can make guesses as to what they are saying. It's helped that I've read a great deal on both artists and that the movie is gorgeous, so I can't take my eyes off of it to get clues. The painting above is inspired by this beautiful movie, which I am still pinching myself to make sure that I do really get to watch it.

A bit more Flow Blue (or Flo Blue)

Pink Roses in Flow Blue, Oil on 6 "x6" Linen Panel SOLD Private Collection in Langhorne, PA School is about to start again and it seems when it does the Holidays are close by and time goes faster. I decided this week I would "make" things go a little slower to get myself to relax. I get a lot of inspiration from so many other blogs, for my home and for my art. So, I went to several blogs that I've loved for so long, but really got to stay for a while. It was absolutely indulging--I wish I could do that more often. There are times when I "have to" paint a certain item and I search and search as it nags at me until I find it. That was the case with the snap dragons below. I was thrilled to find them after most of June and July searching for them. I think they are perfect with the pink carnations. Although I am also working on a painting that is just the snap dragons. I did have to go a bit bigger than my usual paintings...
