I’ve been meaning to pop in on your blog Christiane, but have been on the computer very little – i trust you understand.
Your painting is beautiful, and there is much beauty in simplicity, even in the ordinary such as laundry.
Your colours glow!
I also love the title!
Congratulations on the painting and the feature!
Perugina: thank you for the generous comment. And, I understand that visiting blogs must be the last thing on your mind these days. Ta
