LAST CALL for my giveaway!
If you go to my post of August 6 you will see the details of the giveaway celebrating my 100th post. If you would like a chance to win these little gifts but haven't entered yet, please leave a comment on that post so I can put your name in the hat for the drawing. I plan to do this on Monday, August 20 (edited - forgot have Grand Jury Monday so will do this on Sunday and will post the name of the winner that morning).Meanwhile, do take time to stop and smell the roses ~ Summer will soon be ending but the roses are just beautiful now ~ they usually do well around here until early Fall.
I love this painting, The Soul of the Rose by John William Waterhouse (1849-1917) - her hair, the exquisite fabric, and of course the roses.
Here are the gifts I'm sharing - including the English rose fabric, rose painted dish and rose card.
Remember ~~~~~~

What a beatiful painting!
ReplyDeleteJust popping in to say hello...and the saying at the bottom of the post is correct. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that painting "the soul of the rose" as well. Her hair is just like my daughter Kate's. Hard to believe that summer is winding down - the pots of Chrysanthemums are in at the grocery store now - almost time to replace the pots of sunshine impatients with mums :-}
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd stopped by the giveaway post, but double checked, just in case!
ReplyDeleteThe painting is absolutely beautiful!

Every time I see a painting I really like it turns out to be by John William Waterhouse! I've known and loved that particular painting for a long time but didn't know the artist until I read this though I knew it was by one of the Pre-Raphaelites. I must look more into his work and see what else he's done.
ReplyDeleteOh Mary, what fun!! Such wonderful goodies :o)

Beautiful paintings. Here and above. My daughter has a Waterhouse print of a mermaid in her bath. I love the colors in it. His paintings are so relaxing, almost dreamlike. Beautiful posts Mary!
