Let's just keep it simple and throw in some pillows, flowers, and a special piece for me! Carmel By The Sea Canvas. |
French Floral Can... Real-life marvels. |
Where I dwell and live creatively. |
Tears flowed when I took notice of this special signing on the side of the canvas.

Oh funny is that...I was just thinking about Cindy and was remembering about when she asked me if she could use my photo as an inspiration for your painting, and here it is! I had no idea you were going to feature this! It looks great. I only wish you would have credited me for it! OH well....it looks marvelous. The photo can be seen again on my Instagram page. That was such a perfect moment and the colors were perfection, and Cindy really captured it.
Enjoy it!
Dore, what a special painting to give you sweet memories when you look at it. It's such a sweet serene setting. I love your pretty vignettes, too with the beautiful natural arrangements.
Dear Dore. This is so beautiful. I sooo love your flower can and how you put the flowers together. Gorgeous. Love the painting too. It`s so sweet.
Sending a hug your way
Carmel. Truly a lovely place. It has been years since I was last there.
The painting is beautiful. So perfect for your home!

Ah, Doré, rural french meets style in simplicity as a surrounding of art. The painting is beautiful but not even needed, as you paint pictures with your camera.
Never loud, never "trendy" because timeless and never "out".
And there it is, more rural, more raw to the delicate. Changes. I love it.
Huuugs from your friend Méa, have a goooood time :))))
my gosh your home is so stunningly serene. i love the soft quiet colors and the way you arrange your things. soooooo beautiful. x
Such a soft and beautiful style you have, Dore! I know Cindy's paintings and think her art is wonderful. I can well imagine how lovely it was to get her enchanting painting! That beautiful scene just draws you in. It's perfect for you and your serene home.
Sweet Dore love your rural French Cottage with all its charm. Your style certainly captures Le Vie est Belle. Cindy's painting is beautiful and is an amazing gift to you. I always love talking to you about your time lived in Carmel by the Sea. We look forward to meeting up with you for a vacation there with you guiding us in a tour. We will make it happen this year. Pretty post.

Your beautiful and charming French home is always a delight to each of the senses. The delicate flowers among your beautiful textures add a certain softness. I'm loving the oil...so serene and calm and lovely.

I didn't see the email you sent.
Dore,
A perfect post for me to read on the 1st day of Spring.... The painting is perfect for your French-inspired home with all its beautiful neutral decor. Your white-painted night stand with its three drawers is pretty next to your bed with its matelasse bedskirt. So much to love everywhere I look...

It is always such a treat popping by your blog, dear Dore. That painting is a wonderful gift. I popped over to Cindy's blog to check things out. It is wonderful too! Have a great week and Happy Spring!
How beautiful of Cindy to send you something so lovely that means so much. l love all your furniture paint finishes...your home always looks so calm and serene...Wishing you a wonderful week.
Dore, I was so excited to see a new blog from you! What a lovely one it is to bring in the first day of Spring! From the loosely placed flowers in the rustic old French cans to the vignette of old frames and a painting of roses and that beautiful countryside your friend, Cindy, painted for you! Such a thoughtful gift for you to have in your home to reflect upon a wonderful time in your life. That is just so special. I just love it! Have a blessed Springtime! :)
Das Foto mit der dekorierten Kommode ist wunderschön !
The painting is so beautiful and special by Cindy, whom I love and deeply admire. The photos here are so bright and cheery, Dore! Btw, the wedding in Laguna is postponed until summer so not sure when we can meet for a bonding session. However, we bought a little getaway cottage south of Phoenix (I am there til tomorrow) so I will def have a chance to get to Cali since it is an easy drive. I will keep you posted, friend. Peace.
Dore, what a beautiful gift to receive and treasure. Carmel is beautiful. I really love the arrangement on your side table, and I also love the vase. Have a wonderful week. xoxo Su

I love the white wash - brings out the beauty of the furniture. And you've styled it so prettily with the oils and flowers. Another lovely post.

Dearest Dore,
My computer was down for about a week, which explains why I am so terribly late. I am so happy you enjoyed the roses... I will post more soon.. My English Winchester Cathedral just started to bloom.. Pure heaven.
Thank you for your sweet comment.
fondly,
Penny
So peaceful and beautiful... So you. Xo, ~julie
Dore, I didn't know that you grew up in the Bay Area. I live in northern California, and Carmel is not really that far from me. I've been wanting to take a trip there. This painting that your friend gave you is charming. I love the furniture and décor in your home. It's simple and elegant and always says "welcome" with a French loveliness.

Dear Dore, every time I come to visit your site, I leave with the most peaceful feeling, a soothed soul! Thank you my friend!
