ReplyDeleteGood night from Vienna,
Merisi
Gorgeous and so lovely. The magenta flowers and the vase really do SING.
ReplyDeleteNow you see? That's the kind of thing that makes life truly beautiful. Thank you. I needed this moment of grace.
ReplyDeleteYou are a true artist Merisi. These are my very favourite pictures.
ReplyDeleteI have collected jugs with flowers on and they hang on my welsh dresser. I covet yours.
A lovely composition! The pitcher is a wonderful find.
ReplyDeleteSuch attitude! Such panache! Such fun! Magenta seems to spreading its joy lately. I found a brand new magenta Crayola crayon lying on the street the other day! Not as splendid as your 2nd hand market find, but free and fun and perhaps a sign from the universe to encourage me in my art-making.
ReplyDeleteWow is right! Great find, and elegant! I love this. What a treat!! Beautiful, Merisi.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is so beautiful...the flowers and the pitcher!
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, I have been looking for a pitcher for the past few days!
You know, you actually have "taste." I don't know many folks who do. ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, and lovely music to go with it :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a find your jug was, and how lovely with the matching Dahlias.
ReplyDeleteMaria Callas was a delight to hear.
I thoroughly enjoyed all of them.
Absolute beautiful :-)
ReplyDelete(by the way, did you get my email with the Venezia-addresses?)
some well-spent money!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your kind comments! I treasure them! :-)
ReplyDeleteBritt-Arnhild,
you got mail!
Days are a bit hectic here, since I am leaving very early Friday morning.

ReplyDeleteI am really touched by the resonance to this little pitcher image which happened entirely by chance! I bought a large bouquet of mostly orange dahlias at the farmers market and needed a vase for a few magenta ones hiding amongst their orange sisters. I left the pitcher at the kitchen counter and the next morning, when the sun was streaming through the window, I simply took a few shots because I liked the light.
Btw, I am not into collecting things, but I am always scouting for small creamy white milk jugs. This one was a bit larger than the rest of my "collection" (half a dozen at the most), but it was irrestibly beautiful in my eyes.
What a beautiful subject matter. I love the "hot" lighting....it makes the magenta just jump out of the picture. You are a true artist, Merisi!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Love these dhalias. You always have the most incredible flowers and desserts !!!
