Beverly at How Sweet the Sound hosts Pink Saturday. Stop by her place to see the many other Pretty Pink items that Precious Pink Participating People are sharing.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.

Good morning, Sally. That Claude Monet print is absolutely beautiful. It's similiar to the painting my grandmother used to have hanging on her wall when I was a little girl.
Happy Pink Saturday!! :)
Good Morning Sally, What a beautiful Monet print. I love just his work don't you? And the flowers are lovely too... Nice post showing all your pink stuff today... Your walls look lavender to me... LOL What color are they?
Have a great day!

What a beautiful setting for a beautiful painting and lovely collection of eye candy. HPS xx
Good 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.
Your 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.
Happy Pink Saturday and see you on Blue Monday!
XO,

I actually love the pinkish looking walls! Is it actually beige?
I 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. :)
Happy Pink Saturday, Sally.
Impressionism 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'.
Good 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!
Good morning, Sally! Your pink is very lovely today! That is a beautiful Monet painting! Happy Pink Saturday! Suzie

Sally, what a beautiful print.
I love that painting by Monet. I love how you've pulled the pink in her scarf out in your flowers.
Happy Saturday!

I really like Monet. I never thought of downloading a picture of Monet.
Your pictures are lovely.
Blessings,

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.
Your 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.
That picture is so beautiful! Happy Pink Saturday.
Hugs, Bobbi Jo

Happy Pink Saturday Sally!! I love your monet, so pretty and girlie!
You may be right about those websites, I never totally trust them you know!
Hope you have a wonderful pink week,
Hugs,
Judy
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.
Thanks for stopping by, Sally, today I'm feeling much better and am planning to get my pink post up in a little while.
Victoria

I love Monet, too, and your print is one of my favorites.
My camera doesn't like the close ups, either---but I did like your PINK!!!
Hope your Sat. was filled with lots of happiness and, above all else, PINK!

Sally...how beautiful is that art piece...I also love the permanent botanicals you have the colors are pretty. :)EllenL
Monet is lovely. When I lived in Chicago years ago, an exhibit of his passed through the Art Institute. It was amazing. I went several times. :) Great choice for pink.
What a wonderful print! Love it! xo :) Vanessa
