Despite the emotional anguish that fueled Pablo Picasso's Blue Period, his images from the early 1900s strangely take on a steely, cold beauty. These paintings appear at once haunting and enchanting. What would a room built around the austere gray and blue palette of Les Noces de Pierrette from 1905 look like? How can art serve as inspiration for our dwelling spaces?Images borrowed from InglenookDecor, TheLennoxx, DecorPad, CandiceOlsen,& MilesRedd.
Beautiful rooms - love the blues! Speaking of Picasso, I saw a great exhibit in Melbourne Australia a couple of years ago. It was photos of him taken by....her name escapes me at the moment, but they were spectacular. Who was she??
Like Amélie Poulain, my life is all about the littlest pleasures: the freshest, pinkest raspberries; the deep blue of a Vermeer painting; the perfect crispness of a glass of Prosecco; the divine simplicity of an afternoon at the beach; the heavenly scent of a vanilla bean. Here I blog to celebrate the good life, la dolce vita, la belle vie. Cherish life's petits plaisirs and enrich your daily existence.
You should know that I take liberties with grammar, punctuation, & diction. Do not fear! I assure you I've been educated about the woes of abundant comma usage or the impropriety of ending a sentence with a preposition. Here, as this is not my dissertation, I write as I talk. I also make up words on occasion.
