Fleur: Ladies and Bouquets: Isabella

FLEUR
The aging flower
Still a Beauty, 
an eternal Bloom
Work in progress
*

This week on my easel is this woman,
ISABELLA in green
a weathered soul..but charmed and beautiful
I received a dazzling surprise Bouquet 
from my mother at the door
she has been known to do this often
she knows my love for flowers
and the ones from her garden are very special!
They became interwoven with my painted ladies..

Isabella with
Purple Clematis, 
Rose Quartz and Peony


 Isabella blooming..

Isabella or Isabloom is so beautiful- I love that she's not brand new and young!
You always add such magic to all you do!
Hugs,
Stephanie
P.S. I didn't know Clematis could could go in a vase! I have a summer variety that should bloom soon- I can't wait to try it out!

Anne said...

Amazing, inspiring combination, awesome flowers and beautiful, intriguing ladies with their mysterious stories! Always a pleasure to see your latest creations, thank you for sharing them!

...Victoria what delights!...I'm looking at Isabella and wondering is she harbouring the loss of her youth with that languid sadness in her eyes or whether she is mourning a lost loVe? as I'm sure you know the long tendril with those delicate hearts is called LoVe Lies Bleeding, I've forgotten it's Latin name or is it pure serendipity? either way this painting got me thinking...wishing you a happy creative weekend & may your brushes be held by the silken wings of angels...Mel :)

Such joy to visit your wonderful magical world again. I love all the ladies, all beautiful colours and flowers. Fleur, the aging flower moves me very much. Because i am an aging flower myself and it seems that nowadays you have to be young and are not allowed to age gracefully. That bothers me sometimes. So i keep Fleur in my heart to remind me that all flowers are beautiful, even the ceased blossoming ones.

I send you sweet greetz Victoria.....

Giggles said...

Such Beautiful work Victoria!! I finally found your post hooray!! I've had difficulty navigating your blog almost every time I visit! I just never went far enough down. Glad I finally figured it out!!Silly me.

The flowers your mom brought are gorgeous...us moms love making our daughters happy!! They look so beautiful amalgamated with your ladies!! Happy ppf!

Hugs Giggles

The combination of your lush paintings with the insane colour in the flowers is absolutely perfect... and so beautifully photographed... a visit here is truly mystical...xx

Debra She Who Seeks said...

When I saw the first photo of Isabella with the flowers and rose quartz, I thought the rose quartz was a piece of pie . . . guess that shows where my desires lie, LOL!

Lynn said...

such a prolific array of photos of your wonderful paintings. I did believe the bleeding hearts were painted in the top photo, now am not so sure. What's visiting flowers and which are painted? LOL
You are tricky me thinks.
Lovely works of art you create!
HPPF!

renilde said...

dear Victoria, there is a resemblance between these flowers and your paintings, the richness of these vivid coleurs, the folds of the petals, the joy of blooming it all relates, happy summer solstice to you too next week, xx

Hi Victoria! What a sweet idea your mom has to bring you such beautiful flowers! The loving hearts or dicentras are one of my favorite plants. My grandmother used to have some in her front garden and on my way to school, I'd stop to pick up a few.
For a moment, I thought it was part of Isabella's painting. Magnifique!
I also find your pictures so graceful and artistic! Take care. Hugs
