Thank You VERA,

For your kind and gentle giving heart.
Vera, adds beauty to your heart of living.
Further in the art of French living, it's time to
bring what has lived outside amongst the weathering
sun in.
I am comforted by it's weathered grey.

Hello Dore
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful and tranquil. I love your placement of object and your poetic words.
A firm reminded by F.Scott Fitzgerald and one we must not renege.

Beautiful, beautiful images!!! I am so in love with the rose wreath on the board...what a lovely and unique piece. Your chair looks so cozy with the white pillows, a perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine and a good book.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so beautiful and love the warm and inviting feel of each space…great signs!!
ReplyDeletesimply gorgeous dore, just like you. xo
ReplyDeleteOh Dore, so many beautiful and peaceful images. I miss you and your posts and art. I absolutely adore your painting. So much depth.
ReplyDeleteDear Dore, what beautiful and very special new works of art! I love the Sea Cottage sign and the bird cage!! Your works are so pleasing and calming!

ReplyDeleteEverything is so beautiful and serene.
ReplyDeleteI must check out this book the contents look captivating...

You create such beauty. Spaces that make a person feel good just looking at them. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDoré,
ReplyDeleteYour oil, Wow, it is mesmerizing. From the lovely tones from the Greenish/Bleus to the skin tones with your shadowing done to perfection.
You titled her "She Watches" with the perfect name. I wonder if perhaps she is intently starring at her husband as they reflect on their lives spent in the French countryside.
La Vie est Belle, the first time I looked through that amazing book I keep saying to myself, I wonder if Doré has this book ... So Doré like.
When I asked you if you owned the book and the answer was no how could I not gift you with a book that speaks of your lifestyle. I find myself daydreamsing reading the quotes, soaking in the different regions shown and often try the simple but palate pleasing recipes.
Love your chair brought into your cottage. Weathered in soft Grey's it graces your home. I love the White linen on it, what a lovely textural contrast. Your Cartapesta artwork captivates me and I love collecting your art. The Bird sanctuary - Oh Doré how much it reflects a true labor of love. I can in my mind's eye see whoever purchases it placing a few feathers and a real birds nest inside for display. Your signs are wonderful and can make a true statement piece in someone's home.
xoxo,
Vera
Beautiful post.
Ohhhh yesss, one of my favourite Books, Doré! It is marvellous.
ReplyDeleteAnd now: This wreath!!!!!!! Divine! Oh, and the petite bird you painted, so .... I have no words.
You are SUCH an artist! And so many kinds of materials, spirit of being abroad, holidays...
I sometimes try to tell you my thoughts, and then the words won´t come in English.
But I think, you know anyway. Next post is it then. I hope, you will be in the audience, first row???
Next to Vera?
I huuuug you, happy mouse-greetings from Méa
Dore,
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh just so beautiful and serene. I love to get lost in your pretty posts. All your beautiful art is so gorgeous.
Kris
Your home is so wonderful doré ....love it all....love Ria x
ReplyDeleteDore,
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to see a new blog post by you and this one is filled with so much loveliness! I am so in love with that gray wicker chair! What a perfect aging of grey it has from the outside. And with all the white linen it is so lovely. I love the mix of textures and the roses and rosemary really make it all so yummy. I love all of your art and love having some of it to enjoy in my own home. The painting of the French lady is so wonderful and calming. And I must look for that book! How sweet of Vera to gift it to you! Your home is like the pages of a French Décor book. It is just so lovely! xoxo
Beautifully beckoning.
ReplyDeleteYour work is amazing! Love the gray weather-worn chair......I love gray!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, dear Dore. Love Your signs.

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous book that is so reflective of your beautiful French life and home, Dore. I adore the exquisite wreath you created as well as your very lovely art pieces!

ReplyDeletemmmmmm. is there anything so gratifying as creating from the heart? love the chewed up paper pieces and admiring all your wonderful work, dore. best to you as summer slips away and i am left wondering where in the world it went. peace of the quiet greys and weathered whites to you.
ReplyDeleteDearest Dore, your words at my door today brought such happiness. Thank you so much for your sentiment, and kindness. You are so colorful with words. It is in contrast with your subtle, and beautiful art, but makes a complete circle. Your art is soup for the soul for so many of us. You are an inspiration! Thank you so much dear friend, Im so happy that you visited, and that you "see" me! xoxo Christel
ReplyDeleteI love the wicker chair you brought inside! It adds a lot of nice texture to the neutral space. I love the items you've made for your Etsy shop as well! You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a magic touch with combining design - beauty and peace - everything always looks lke a place I could curl up in for hours with a good book.
ReplyDeleteThose signs are simply gorgeous Dore !

Suzan...I want to curl up in your new old home. its all that my home was to be...The stone work is fabulous, I must look for a home old and new, perhaps on a weekend trip to the beach I shall think about a major move!

How did I miss this post? J'adore the aged wicker in your home, Dore! Your art is beautiful. There is a special feeling of love, and a gentle energy evoked by it's creation. We are honored to have your creative presence in our home. I only wish that it was framed in a beautiful environment such as yours. I love how you weaved your "mots francais" into this post! I have been to your shop this morn'!

Lovely One!
ReplyDeleteInspiration abounds in your presence! And I do feel your presence when I come to
your blog, the beauty, the weathered whites wash over me.
How I need to do a new blog post, and will.....
Our house sold, and we've been living at our 'new' place for a couple of months and
I've been working at making it our own, if only my $$$ matched my vision!!!!!
So far, the guest room is becoming marvelous. French Inspired. It will be the room
I come to for beauty and femininity ~ as my studio is in the middle of the house, it will
be less 'girly'. How I wish you could advise and inspire me on this room!!!!!
It's open to the dining room with a table-height cabinet dividing the rooms. And after coming in the front door, one walks through this room to get to the long great room in the back of the house. One wall has built in knotty pine cabinets where I house my computer, printer, etc. (I am wanting to paint them white but so far my husband is not convinced)
I plan to put my studio desk in here. I'm not sure what else.... the ideas will come.
I first need to get that desk from our other house, we still have some furniture we left
there for staging.
This journey would make for a good book! Moving from a new house we built on a tiny lot... with barely any yard maintenance to a 30 year old brick home on 1.7 acres with a pond.
We've been doing all sorts of repairs and projects!
The trees!!!!!! I love these mature trees!!!
I'm painting a little table today for the guest room. Soon, a blog post!
Yes, Mea's production was magnificent!!!!! One thing on my list is to paint my theatre
for the next production......
Keep bringing delight,
Violet
Oh Dore! You have been busy creating! Enjoyed seeing all of your work - simply beautiful. Xo, ~julie
