You have captured the essence of early 19th Century French Romanticism. <br /><br />The florals look as though they were taken from Elizabeth Vigee LeBrun's paintings of French aristocrats. <br /><br />LeBrun's self-portraits often feature her bonnets decorated with fresh flowers spilling around the crown and over the brim. Delicate colors, warm yellows and pinks pay homage to the era and the elegant designs of the period. Bravo!<br />BBFBBFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089480053040666098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508857823676162312.post-66736281127075042312011-04-07T08:33:23.243-05:002011-04-07T08:33:23.243-05:00The most interesting was the fact about the garden...The most interesting was the fact about the garden near the 14th century home.
