Beautiful paintings by James Tissot

Welcome to you all.

 Need an escape from all the shopping or problems in life? Then you have found it!

Today is for James Tissot. I never tire of his paintings. Sumptuous dresses and rich colors and I am off to another era and time. This group of paintings feature ladies looking at or holding Japanese objects. The 'Shop Girl' is included because many of you are out shopping! The artist's self portrait is last. 

All of these images where found on The Athenaeum.

It feels so good to come home after a day at the Legacy! I have such a good time with the Thursday afternoon ladies. This last month there were not many button donations. A perfect time to get caught up.

Now I have one guilty confession. Every Thursday I treat myself to a chocolate milkshake. I can't believe I am actually writing about this. After years of staying away from fast food there I am in line every Thursday getting my chocolate shake!

I have been drawn to pictures with fall colors. So rich and warm. It was quite hot today and fall hasn't really arrived but these pictures are just too pretty. My heart is always warmed after a day at "my" little shop.

I hope you can use them in one of your projects and find them pleasing.You are the best followers and visitors. It makes me happy you stopped by, Louise
