Daffodils & Clementines...

Posted on 8:12 PM by jimmy
...And transferware, and lace....just a few of my favorite things! (I have lots of favorite things!); isn't this a sunny vignette? It's no wonder blue and orange are complimentary colors; they just make each other sing!



"I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils."

- William Wordsworth

 I really love the lace shadows here (above)...♥

My favorite transferware plate...it's called "Pomona"; I've never seen another piece of it. Fruit and flower themes are a favorite of mine, in red/pink as well as blue transferware.

The little cobalt blue hobnail bowl is another piece that was my Mom's...♥


Taking photos early this morning with the sunshine streaming in was so enjoyable! Of course, I always manage to somehow take dozens...sometimes even hundreds...in a very short amount of time ~ then I don't want to delete any, as I'm afraid I'll accidently delete the ONE that will be a perfect basis for a painting!... I prefer to compose the painting exactly with my camera (well, very close, anyway), instead of taking one element from one photo, something else from another, etc. I need to learn to quickly scan my photos and keep only the best! ♥


Have a great Tuesday, everyone!
