Girl with a Pearl Earring is a favorite of mine, too and I ADORED that take on it! I'm so glad that you are able to get back to classes, knowing you are feeling well and that you can be out more. I didn't know about vanitas but it's a great idea.

I had seen but did not know about vanitas -- though they certainly capture some of the essence of fall, I have to say I prefer your interpretation to those of the Dutch Masters.

I can tell by your choice of a theme for your tablescape. I so enjoy seeing the creativity in unique themed tables like this one. Bouquets of paint brushes are just perfect, and substituting your model for the skull kept your table from being maudlin. Enjoy your classes! happy September!

You certainly came up with an interesting theme for the table settings. The colors certainly speak to fall. I've never heard of fajitas so I'm happy to have learned something new.

I absolutely love your creative approach. The paint brush bouquet is such a charming idea, and I adore the Rachel Kozlowski plates. I've seen them, and was tempted my self. The owl plates I used on my table are also West Elm Dapper animal plates, but I've had them for a number of years. Anthropomorphic art appeals to me. I may need to revisit those plates. I also may need to watch You've Got Mail again. Loved that movie as well as Sleepless in Seattle. Happy Fall, my friend. Enjoy your return to in person art classes.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287885364919636589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820471780736941349.post-86159031671966336212022-09-06T21:49:22.661-05:002022-09-06T21:49:22.661-05:00Very Creative!!
