Lovely quote Mel! At first I was a little worried that the lady might fall down from the roof top & break her neck...then I realized it's just a painting!! errr-errr?...I really need to get more sleep! haha...
Am dancing and smiling as we speak, Mel.....can't have a drink...it's only 10.00a.m. here in the U.K.!!!!! Wonderful painting......wonderful sentiment XXXX
I'm a huge Sargent fan! In fact, I was just looking through a book I have of his work the other day. He's so inspiring. I love the quote you paired with this painting. Such a great way to start the weekend. Hope yours is lovely!
HI Mel Gorgeous painting. I haven't seen this one before, the colours are quite dreamlike. And is that a full moon I spy in the top left corner? Lovely. Have a great weekend. x Julie
What a beautiful Blog and what an amazing painting. I loved the quote and have a feeling I will spend a lot of time reading through all the posts. Wishing you the most magical weekend.:-)))
i'm getting up! i'm getting up! as long as you bring the tambourine, i am so getting up! most delightful post, mel ~ thank you from the tips of my dancing toes, prairiegirl
What a perfect marriage of the painting with the quote. I can picture myself sitting in Greece & soaking in the final hours of summer. Very lovely Mel ~
