FRENCH BLUE AND ROSES

SOLD

I love all French object d'art and this painting celebrates that! Fluffy pink roses are set off against the horizontal lines of French shutters. Grapes in the foreground lift the dappled light and shadows which makes for a very lovely piece of art.

TANIA SE SITKAMER

 This painting is as warm, peaceful and lively at the same time, just like my sister Tania herself. It speaks of everything she is, welcoming, calming, interesting and most of all beautiful! This is her sitting room, drenched by the late winter sun, just like she lightens everybody's lives around her!
