I love these colors together - the ochre shades of Fall foliage mingled with Cerulean ocean blues. I love the pre-Raphaelite ladies, thick red tresses, folds and gathers of a silk and velvet dress, calm countenance displaying thoughts of...............only she knows!
I made this wall hanging with tags this past weekend. The words read "Only your heart knows what is precious" ~ I feel this is true for each of us.

I like those colors together too! My mom and I were shopping yesterday, and saw some pretty bedding in these colors! Lovely!

Your tags are so pretty!
Beautiful picture, I love the Pre-Raphaelite women too, they always look so tranquil as you say and as for those gorgeous medieval gowns - if only clothes were that graceful and flattering these days.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, it's beautiful, just beautiful.

These tags are gorgeous and I totally agree that the color combinations of the background image are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe many shades of blue have found some interesting partners and trends as of late. One of my favorites is powder blue with chocolate!
I also love the rich fabrics depicted in the portrait. Her bed chamber invites serene thoughts!
I have fine, blonde hair-- and thankfully a lot of it. However, my hair was never full when I wore it long.
WOW! What beautiful art you made! Perfect colors together.:)
ReplyDeleteLove the saying .
Happy Wednesday Mary :). crystal x
Just stunning! I am loving French aqua blue with my reds, golds and greens. Just a touch.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and saying such nice things about my mosaic watering cans. I tried to email you with info on them, but the email came back :-(. So, if you want more info on them, weight, etc you can get my email from my blog or website, www.lavenderhillstudio.com

Thanks for all your kind comments on my work. No Angela, I've never tried to sell anything like this, just like to piddle with paper and pretties to share mostly with my art pal in Washington state. We inspire one another by mail - and we met for the first time this Summer when I visited her. How wonderful to have long distance friendships, just like our blogs, and then to meet in person and feel so comfortable together.
ReplyDeleteLife really is grand!
I'm grateful for each of you whether we meet in person or just keep in touch like this.

Beautiful work ! Don't you lose yourself in the art when you begin to work on a project? I do some of the same type of work...I love collages and playing with words and images and colors. But once I get started, I don't want to do anything else! My art takes over my mind.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful work Mary. I love the color combination as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's so lovely! What a wonderful thing to have hanging around your home.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love those olors together! Your work is gorgeous, LOVE IT!
