Matisse's flowers

Last week was filled with February wintercolours, in fact  snow and sun  gave the days quite  a clearedge...
could have been much worse with rain and mud and grey grey skies but ...

must admit the winterdays of staying inside  are getting on my nerves   ......as much as autumn calls after a long summer I'm getting impatient  for spring now...

and an instant solution for the moment was going to the flowermarket,  had been weeks  ...










but even more sense made  looking at the wonderful paintings of Matisse.......spring and  summer light...!
















Feel reassured again, spring will come in due time ..... the trick  is how to stay patient .....???

Snowwhite

The snowwhite calmed my world by covering it in greytones today










it was a day with a long to do list, due to the sudden heavy snow plans had to be changed , and then the day became a quite different one, a suddenly slowed down day and when I gave in,   I had  a long  walk with the dogs...can be quite a challenge to enjoy suddenly "empty" time when things have to be done but
the dogs and I must admit we did very well..... in the end..lovely walk we had...enjoyed the 'empty 'time
