Little Miss sitting in her closet playing with her tablet.

Theodore catching a few rays of sunshine through the window panes.

BEFORE PHOTO of what this wall looked liked in the past.

THE AFTER LOOK………Still room for ONE MORE!

BEFORE LOOK across on the other side of the kitchen table.

THE OLD CHICKEN COOPS HAVE GONE TO MY YOUNGEST SON.

Which makes me so happy as these were their EASTER BASKETS many years ago.

He takes after his MOTHER in the COLLECTING DEPARTMENT!

He may even SURPASS ME!

TODAYS NEW LOOK.

A CALMER more PASTORAL LOOK.

Which is the EPITOME of ME!

A CLOSE UP of a BLUE EYED LADY.

Detail of portrait.

I adore the cracks and the strokes of paint from light to dark.

Almost smudges.

Do you see the detail when you look at a painting or does your eye take the image in without zeroing in on color and detail?I tend to FORCE myself to SLOW DOWN and take in the details.

More OLD items, but NEW to me added from my late STEP Mother.

Looking straight out into the back garden.I should have put these photos side by side.

This one and the one below.

This cow painting I may have to pass on to another COW FANATIC!

Upper RIGHT.

ANYONE INTERESTED if I do decided to RELEASE?

Laser ACCURATE with installation.

I was afraid we would not have the room for all of her portraits but with THE ITALIAN’s “STEP UP” LOOK all fit, but one portrait which easily went into my office has changed the AMBIANCE for the BETTER!

I tend to do the MORE IS MORE look not on purpose but because I have feelings for things from the past.I have an instagram buddy who told me she coined a word called “STUFFICATION” to describe all the things that she had accumulated.Then she proceeded to say………”YOU my Dear have made it an ART!”

I had a shop for years and held on to some of the stuff that I still had when I closed it.I realize I will never have a shop again nor do shows so maybe it’s OKAY TO PART WITH A FEW ITEMS.Again that is hard for me as I need to match the items with a NEW HOME that would appreciate it.I do not have the sensibility to put stuff in a BOX and pass on for another TREASURE SEEKER TO DISCOVER!

THATS MY MAJOR DEFECT!

A fun little TIDBIT.

May I ask your opinion of the AGE of this WOMAN?

I will tell YOU in my next POST!

TO COMMENT ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS KEEP SCROLLING DOWNWARDS.

TOODLES,

YOUR CONTESSA

Tigre was very interested in this painting!

So, he placed himself in front of it!

I had a good chuckle over it and somehow managed to get a photo!
