Les Hortensia,on ETSY,sold, 5.5" x 7.5"
Scream if you're sick of visiting the chateau - not that I'll listen mind you...
I was just telling Corey that I took 5000 pictures last trip, so you'll just have to sit tight a bit longer class. Yikes, shes done Hortensia (Hydrangeas) today too! Great minds bla bla bla.... 
Anyway as I was saying there are a ton of flowers where aire you look at the chateau...this tapestry chair is a beaut is it not? And P., please do not ask me to bring back this chair for you.
I'm not ready to get arrested...ahem
These fleural prints are huge and caught my eye immediately upon entry to the chateau...
Definitely not minis!
A rather elaborate vase...a bit overdone in my opinion. But the flowers! YUM
There were so many bouquets...I wish I'd taken more pictures of them... PLEASE CLICK HERE TO VIEW PAINTINGS ON ETSY.BONNE JOURNEE!

Those panels behind the vase of flowers in the last photograph! That is what I want!
ReplyDeleteDo you have any more photographs of those exquisite panels?
And we rented Vatel and Ridicule (Moliere arrives tomorrow). Vatel was just scene after scene of breathtaking beauty!
Thanks for the recommendations!
I never tire of anything to do with France. I so enjoy all your pictures, paintings and comments. Even from Maine! A lovely escape before heading off to work!
ReplyDeleteThose cups are exquisite! :-)
ReplyDeleteI imagine taking a sip of tea and then a dainty bite off a macaron, heaven. ;-)
I was heavy into passamenterie this morning, at Duke Albert von Sachsen-Teschen's "Albertina" palace. He was married to another, more fortunate daughter (than her poor sister Marie Antoinette) of empress Maria Theresa, Marie Christine. They lived in what is now the Albertina Museum.
Looooove the tea cups and macaron painting. Wonderful painting. No I am not sick of the Chateau. bring on more. I love flowers so I am enjoying this post today. I will be back to look at it again. :)
ReplyDeleteI just have to tell you how much I appreciate the time and effort you put into your daily posts.
ReplyDeleteYou take me to places I know I will never get to see.
Paris I know I will probably never see in person, NYC, well that is a dream of mine to get to go there sometime.
Thank you again for what you share.
God Bless

Thanks so much for all your pictures and watercolors. They add just the right sparkle in a sometimes dreary day.

ReplyDeleteBIG MERCI Rona !

Love the way the theme of flowers is carried out throughout the chateau...so damn elegant!
ReplyDelete5000 photos in two weeks!
ReplyDeleteYIKES
350 per idem
29 pictures an hour...if you shoot while you sleep, which you probably do!
That painting is another beauty, Carol--how'd my comment not "take," last night!? I'm loving the photos, too--no need to stop on my account, anyway! ;))
ReplyDeleteWas your clicking finger sore? 5000? I haven't even taken that many in my whole life and I am old :)
ReplyDeleteWhen one is tired of Vaux, one is tired of life.....to parphrase Moritmer paraphrasing Dr. Johnson (I think?)
