Cottages and Roses Paintings #2

More Barbara Mock paintings for you to view.
~*~

How luscious are these roses of hers on this old sideboard? Beautiful!

Or this one of a mother and her child in the garden by a lake.

A summer afternoon on the porch entertaining special friends.

Ooooh, the magic of vintage carousels in the park and times of yesteryear.

A beautiful teacup awaiting that special blend of herb tea to make the evening delightful.

A morning in the potting shed arranging bouquets for dinner.

An evening stroll through this garden path to meet with a beau.
A table set for a rendezvous for two perhaps. Aaaah, the delight of it.

Of course, you know I can't resist the birdhouses, poppies and bird nests.

A hummingbird wreath of roses and ribbons.

  8. Oh, if life were only so beautiful and enchanting. I've yet to be in a garden that actually looks like one of those paintings. Maybe someday I'll travel to a lovely, English rose garden.

  11. So pretty. I like your tutorials. I'm not sure what I am doing as my pictures are not clickable to enlarge. I'm taking them right out of my picture file and they appear larger in there. Any ideas? No hurry....enjoy your week.
