Flowers in my bedroom

I want to share with you the collection of paintings I have in my bedroom. The theme is flowers and the main colors green and pastels. The bed board is hand painted green iron. It's light and cheerful. You see a door to the right because I live in a building built in 1865. At that time, Hausmann was the master urbanist of Paris. The layout of his buildings saw rooms communicating with one another, plus a hallway that connected them from outside. We do not use this double door to go to the other room, so it's always closed. The bedspread is by Yves Delorme.

The pictures on the left were bought to a Chinese painter who painted exquisite watercolors and who was introduced to me by a common friend who was a pianist. I hosted an exhibition of her paintings in my home, a daring step in Chine in 1987 - and bought several of her paintings.

The top one is a beautiful lively bouquet of garden roses.

The two below feature flowers in nature.

They were framed by artist Marie Verbois whose refined paintings can be seen in her blog Next month, Marie is holding an exhibition of her oil paintings in Tunis.

The middle top one feature a branch of jacaranda and I bought it in Kenya when we lived there. It was painted by an English artist, well known in Kenya at that time.
Jacaranda trees rhymed the seasons in Nairobi, and locals used to say that when the soil was covered by jacaranda flowers, the rainy season was close.

The one below is a photograph taken by friend and artist Steve Drews . Interested parties, read carefully: this guy has loads of talent! I have several of his stunning pictures of Paris and France throughout my home. What a delight!

To the right, the top one is another picture by Steve Drews, framed by Marie Verbois (notice the difference with the previous one - oh how I regret not having given her both!).

The last adding to this collection is an acrylic painting of a bouquet of peonies by Fifi Flowers Decor which I fell in love with when I visited her blog. You can buy on line and Fifi sends her artwork by mail - this one traveled all the way to Paris!

Enjoy!
