This one has tried on a few titles;
'The Purple Palace',
'The Mauve Mansion',
'Queen of Aubergine',
('The Lilac or The Lavender Lady' were quickly discarded),
but 'La Maison Lavandre' has
a playful elegance fitting to this regal home.
(I recently read that purple and orange are spirit colors,
and this purple palace has spirit!)

(To an oh so elegant and playful spirited woman.)
This has such an imaginative, whimsical feel. It would make a wonderful illustration for a book. I want to know all about the person, or creature, occupying this beautiful, mysterious, creative house!
ReplyDeleteWhat a place! I like the way you "framed" it as if the viewer is coming through an enchanted garden and finds this jewel through the other side. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, this one is briming with whimsy. The perfect name!
ReplyDeleteI love this - fantastic composition, and it just glows with light! I want to live there now...
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree, a "playful elegance" indeed. Exquisite painting, Linny. The composition is strong, the colors and light engaging and the atmosphere is heavenly.
