Paintings of Cooling Luscious Green Foliage, White Flowers & Pretty Women. Paintings by Sophie Anderson & William Margetson. Free Digital 1880's Ephemera.

Hi everyone! So happy you are here! Today the collection of paintings and ephemera feature white flowers and lush green leaves. The first picture of the magnolia blossoms was the start of this grouping. All the foliage and shade reminds me of finding a shady place to sit on a hot day. Just cool and peaceful. The last few days have been so satisfying as I discover more museums that share artwork online for all to enjoy. Very grateful for the ones who allow downloading for personal and educational purposes. I find it interesting how the different museums handle sharing their collections. Some are so generous and easy. Some are complicated and restrictive. Others do not share at all or charge quite a bit of money. 

I hope you are having a wonderful, creative day! 

Sending all of you much love and happiness, 

Louise

I love the Beach ~ Shell Clip Art~ A Favorite William Henry Margetson Painting

This picture represents how I feel at the beach.

 I love the waves, sand and the salty air. 

 Shore birds looking for morsels in the sand at the waves edge. 

Seagulls gulls and clumps of seaweed. 

My grandson running with abandone on the wet, hard sand.

 Sometimes with a long tail of said seaweed trailing behind.

Yes I love the beach.

It replenishes my soul.

I feel satisfied and content when I return home.
