I want to share a picture of the top of the chest of drawers in our bedroom. Hanging on the wall is a Claude Monet print called "The Reader." A tan vase of faux flowers in white and pink pulls the color from the picture. My walls are not pink, although they appear so here.
I downloaded this from the internet so that you can see the beauty of the Monet. Notice the touches of soft pink in the painting.

My camera doesn't like for me to do close ups, but even though this is blurry, I wanted you to see the pretty pink color.
The figurine is from Spain. It is labeled, "Ingles." The crystal was a gift from a friend who knows that Johnny golfs every Wednesday. It's handmade from Czech Republic "Glass Bohemia."
Happy Pink Saturday!
PS The paint color is Benjamin Moore's "Soft Sand." It's painted in 8 inch stripes of flat 2106-60 and semi-gloss 2106-50.

Sally, that print is beautiful and I love the flowers too. Have a wonderful weekend Luv...

What a beautiful setting for a beautiful painting and lovely collection of eye candy. HPS xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sally, my tree is still in an un-accessible corner in my garage. Guess what is around it. Boxes of books. Sigh. My dh has a big job today getting to that tree.
ReplyDeleteYour pink today is lovely. It was smart to download that Monet print, as a photo of a print just doesn't work. I love the print as you might guess. Did you like the plates?
Hugs...Jeanne
Sally, Monet is one of my favorite artists, and I love that painting! That ribbon is just so fresh and pretty. Enjoyed seeing your other pinkness as well. I'm gearing up for Blue Monday and have got my post all set.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday and see you on Blue Monday!
XO,
Sheila
I actually love the pinkish looking walls! Is it actually beige?
ReplyDeleteI love when figurines are not just cute but reflect something in our lives.
The flowers and painting are pretty.
Hi Sally, Beautiful vignette, Happy Pink Saturday to you. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday, Sally.
ReplyDeleteImpressionism is my favorite style of art, and I love your Monet print. Renoir is my favorite, but he is closely followed by Monet.
Did you know...Monet had cataracts? This is why his paintings look the way they do. This is actually how he saw the world he painted. I always thought he was just doing a 'cool technique'.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sally! I finally got my post done this morning if you want to see pink. Love the Monet. I'm a big fan of impressionism. Have a great pink and blue week!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Sally! Your pink is very lovely today! That is a beautiful Monet painting! Happy Pink Saturday! Suzie

I really like Monet. I never thought of downloading a picture of Monet.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are lovely.

Love the Monet - I just love the way he depicts light. And - reading the commenter above who said he had cataracts - that makes it even more fascinating, doesn't it? Perhaps his perception of light was even more heightened.
ReplyDeleteYour arrangement looks lovely, Sal. Have a great weekend!
Your print and all your pinks are just wonderful.Hope you have a great Pink Saturday and a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteThat picture is so beautiful! Happy Pink Saturday.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Bobbi Jo

Hope you have a wonderful pink week,

They may not be pink, but I love the contrasting stripes on your wall :o) When I was still teaching kindergarten and first grade, I used to teach a 2 week unit on Monet during state testing time (aaargh!), and the kids always loved learning about his life through wonderful books and art experiences.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Sally, today I'm feeling much better and am planning to get my pink post up in a little while.
Victoria
