You have a great blog!Cindy Ellisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03637906385592484767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000465612593118470.post-6547478303397651362011-08-19T11:19:59.100-05:002011-08-19T11:19:59.100-05:00I always loved this picture. :)I always loved this picture. :)LaWendulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17672227875044795360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000465612593118470.post-64042308444020923222011-08-18T08:55:40.571-05:002011-08-18T08:55:40.571-05:00Shady, it is such an inconvenience when the electr...Shady, it is such an inconvenience when the electricity goes off. We don't realize how much we depend on it until we don't have it. How many times do I forget and turn on light switches, think to myself I'll cook a little something until it comes back on ... good gracious! Hope you all didn't have any damage. How interesting that Mrs. Shady is an artist and I would bet she is a very talented one, too! You have great artistic ability, it is evident in your blog and writing! Shady, thank you for your thoughts and glad you saw the light again last night!Cindy Ellisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03637906385592484767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000465612593118470.post-23046890798842965392011-08-17T22:10:33.581-05:002011-08-17T22:10:33.581-05:00I'm late getting to you tonight, Cindy, becaus...I'm late getting to you tonight, Cindy, because you sent one of your wicked Tennessee storms down my way. It knocked out electricity, cable, phone and internet for several hours.<br /><br />I'm happy to know that Clint's ordeal is "behind" him. I had the same procedure done in 2003 and need to do it again in 2013. I'm glad Clint checked out okay.<br /><br />I am also very happy to see evidence that you are getting back into your art. Thanks for the fascinating story behind the making of this enchanting painting. Mrs. Shady would love this one because she is also an artist and always chooses young maidens as her subjects. A few years ago she enlisted our three nieces to pose for oil portraits.<br /><br />I wish I had artistic ability but all I can do is appreciate art and I think I know good work when I see it. “Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose” is a delightful painting.<br /><br />Thank you very much for an informative and heartwarming post, Cindy!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000465612593118470.post-9998672453354763122011-08-17T18:51:45.425-05:002011-08-17T18:51:45.425-05:00Thank you, Aishah, for reading the story behind th...Thank you, Aishah, for reading the story behind this painting. I love Sargent's Madame X very much, too. If you have not read the story behind Madame X, to me it is interesting. I like the true stories behind the paintings. Clint has recovered and back to his old self, he has been kidding and joking with me about today. Glad he can laugh about it now, it was not so funny last night about 11 PM. ;~0 Thanks again, Aishah.Cindy Ellisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03637906385592484767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000465612593118470.post-66539686771314037042011-08-17T18:36:17.160-05:002011-08-17T18:36:17.160-05:00Thank you Cindy, I love stories behind paintings a...Thank you Cindy, I love stories behind paintings and this one is indeed very beautiful. And I learned so much about it too and of the painter of Madame X, I am curious about that story too. I fell in love with Vermeer's the girl with an earring because I read the book about the story behind it but it was a fiction, but still to me, it felt true.<br /><br />From his comment, looks like Clint has completely recovered from his trauma:)Aishahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064149242908143273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000465612593118470.post-91578744321767463012011-08-17T16:23:11.104-05:002011-08-17T16:23:11.104-05:00Paint, Cindy!...Paint!Paint, Cindy!...Paint!Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417401195683808500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000465612593118470.post-59775708090182746912011-08-17T16:19:48.898-05:002011-08-17T16:19:48.898-05:00Thank you, Carol.

I can yell at Clint to come see some clouds, sunrise/sunset and it will have changed by the time he gets there. It just occured to me how fleeting rainbows are, too. We wouldn't appreciate them if they were present all the time. Love your new profile picture, Carol!

I finally got a shot but in the afternoon sun not setting sun. Oh well, there's always next year.Carol Blackburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744965568317454970noreply@blogger.com
