Wishing You A Beautiful Monday ~


 and second day of spring!  I don't know about you but I love the feeling of knowing that spring is officially here.  I just returned from my History of Modern Art class and feeling inspired by all of the beautiful art that I'm surrounded with ~

The Fountain of Love ~ Jean-Honoré Fragonard

Woman at Her Toilette ~ Berthe Morisot (great-granddaughter of Fragonard, wife of Manet's brother)

Le Moulin de la Galette ~ Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Boulevard des Capucines ~ Claude Monet 

Rehearsal of a Ballet on Stage ~ Edgar Degas


Which is your favourite?

xoxo, B

  3. Bonjour ma belle!! Oui, le printemps, est arrivé!!! And I am so happy to hear the rain coming down..it is going to wash away all this old dirty leftover snow! Thank you for coming by dearest, and DEGAS is just about my favorite here...the ballet class will always be my favorite. I can almost feel the GIVE of the wooden floor under my feet, when I danced and his rendition is timeless....enjoy your BEAUTIFUL SPRING!! Anita
