the art of life
bonjour tout le monde! what’s happening in your universe? i hope your day was good and productive and that spring is in the air teasing you. i had big plans to post tonight but came across this shot that i love on so many levels and had to just post it alone. i like the idea of taking a masterpiece and enlarging it to this extent. to live with such color, magnificence and grandeur by just covering one wall. and your room can be a mess and still look great! well i’m cutting out. early to bed c’est soir, can’t wait. bonne nuit!

Her complexion is divine. And, no doubt, true to life! Maybe it was not just rumor that the ladies of the 18th century bathed in milk.
