Bonjour Violet,
How wonderful to meet you here in Paris!! I love your sparkly shoes on you, but I can't wear them, as they hurt mes pieds!!!! But can I borrow that skirt?
You are a beautiful French Girl, Violet, and a lovely addition to this Party party!
Amitiés, ma soeur!

Welcome in Paris darling...nice to met you here....what a great party this is !!...love Anita.....she is such a great friend for all of us.....happy week enjoy your time here....xxxx..

Castles Crowns and Cottages said...

I AM FINALLY HERE....and what in the world happened to our phone conversation!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear heart, your art is splendid. What can I say but that every time I see a new piece, I just smile and shake my head and ask, "HOW DOES SHE DO IT????"

Wow. Thank you for participating even though you have been so busy; but I understand the love you have for Paris and the great friendship we share. You asked about the moving photos???? GIFS. Google Ballet Gifs and voilà....they are just photos that are put into frames and when put together, they move. Simple. GO FIND SOME!!!!

And teeeeheeeee....you saw ME! I had poor Ruben take me after school on Wednesday to the local Catholic church that is very ornate...Italianate in structure, however! I HAD A BLAST and thought of you.

I will be back later; I have to get dinner on the table but THANKS AGAIN! Anita

Dear violet,
Are your paintings oil? At frist glance I thought watercolor, but the colors are so very rich, this must be oil, no?
Blessing to you,
Penny

Angelsdoor * Penny said...

Thank you Violet for taking time to answer my question.
Acrylics? Well, I have been working with acrylics for years and I have to say that you are a master with this medium.. I have yet to accomplish this quality and beauty. Your painting looks very much like oil..
I have not been able to use oils in years due to my health.. How do you like the water soluble ones.. Do you feel you can get the same effect as oils? I would love to try them out.. I really miss my oils.
Thank you again for taking time for me.
Enjoy Paris!
Penny

Nice work, Violet.
so pretty and feminine.
I also checked out your post prior to this Paris link, and I must say..."PRURDDDYYY!!!" (So very pretty)Your studio is absolutely lovely to behold.

Virginia said...

Violet, what a delight! I love your work and that King Charles spaniel looks a bit like my new granddog, Daisy. Thank you for stopping by my Paris blog today. Isn't it fun meeting all the Paris loving bloggers via chère Anita!!!
Bon dimanche,

Anne said...

I love it! A charmingly unique contribution to Anita's party.

Unknown said...

Violet--I do believe you are my kind of woman! Artist, believer, and lover of beauty! Your painting for today is beautiful. Such great color. Are you familiar with Janet Hill at Janethillstudio.com? You would really like her work too. I'm now going to your Etsy shop. See you later!

Castles Crowns and Cottages said...

My precious Violet,

Oh my friend, we are having a grand time, aren't we?

I must share a thought with you via email, but this has been a lovely time. Thank you for coming back and taking the time to visit everyone!! YOU MADE IT THROUGH THE LIST!!!!!!

This was the best thing for me as I ended my school year. To party in this way, ALL WEEK LONG is so therapeutic. Your art is taking peoples' breath away and OH...PENNY....she is my beloved friend that I had the opportunity to meet 3 years ago. She is the creator of BEBE the mouse and we have had the best time over at NOWHERE. She is the most lovely person and a real gem. But all of you are my friend....

LOVE TO ALL! Anita

Jacqueline said...

So nice to meet you! I love your beautiful creations. Definitely need the sparkly shoes when we go out on the town in Paris and the tulle skirt will be perfect. So fun to party in Paris with you. Sounds like life is just a little crazy with your packing up and moving. Hope it goes well.

Jeanie said...

Oh, how enchanting your art! I especially loved Fifi! Thank you for visiting The Marmelade Gypsy, Violet. I'll be doing lots more Paris posts over the next couple of weeks, so if you have time with your packing, do pop by. (I loved your packing post below this one. the thought of packing up my art studio makes me all itchy and awful-feeling!)

Privet and Holly said...

Violet, your work
always makes me smile!

Loved your comment about
Cannon Beach. It is one of
my favorites, too!

My dream is to live on Bainbridge
Island....cottage with picket
fence and all : )

Happy Monday!

Wonderful Art. :-)

Castles Crowns and Cottages said...

Good morning beautiful friend!

Ahhhhhh......what a fun trip this has been, hasn't it? Another round of thanks to YOU for using your gorgeous art to add a literal MUSEUM feel to this tour. That is what Paris is really like. You feel as while you are walking the streets that you are in a living museum. This was splendid, and thank YOU for making it richer my sweet friend. Anita

Angelsdoor * Penny said...

Dear Violet,
I am soooooo sorry you had such a time with that robot this moning.. I really don't like having it turned on. When I am leavings comments it is very difficult for me to read them also.. blurry and sideways. With my old eyes this does not help.
Thank you for your input on the waterless oils.. I see them quite often but have never picked them up. Well, what you do with acrylics is simply amazing to me.
Thank you so much for your visit, it is always such a joy to see you there.
With great admiration,
Penny

Kirsten Steen said...

So wonderful to meet you, Violet! I'm here from Anita's fabulous Paris Party and had to come see your art (that Anita speaks so highly of you!). Have just become a follower and...I just noticed your beautiful Afghan in a post below. We had one (Camille) in the 70's in San Franciso and I still think of her. Can't wait to return and see more of your artwork. A bientot, Kirsten
