for Day 28- Yellow Lily at Petit Fleur



Hubby took a picture of the Yellow Lily while we were dining at Petit Fleur.

for Day 27 - Flower Stalls at Stare Miasto Torun



At the corner near the 2 Catholic churches of the Stare Miasto stand the flower stalls. Different varieties of flowers are to be found at each stall. Lilies of the valley and roses are abundant. I miss walking down the cobbled streets of Torun while leisurely gazing at these stalls. Hope to come back to this place...someday!

for Day 26 - Dancing with Fred and Ginger (Tancici Dum)



Frank Gehry's Tancici Dum at Prague, Czech Republic is one visual treat! The Tancici Dum or Dancing Building was inspired by the famous dancing pair of all time, Fred and Ginger. I especially loved the curve on Ginger's body. It gives the illusion that the two buildings are dancing to a tune. :)

25th!



For the 25th painting, I chose to post one scene from my most favorite place in the world --- PARIS! We were on our way to see the Pompidou, we passed by the St. Denis and lo and behold - beautiful gardens within the district. I particularly loved the sprawling flowers and the hanging greens on the arches. Will be posting more paintings from scenes seen on Paris. :)

Quarter of the Goal

I've already posted 24 watercolor paintings. Next posting will be quarter of the Goal. 24 down, 76 paintings to go. The original intent of this project is to post one painting a day. Since, my schedule and circumstance will not permit, I will just post a corresponding painting for each day. The original purpose of the project is to serve as creative outlet during my free periods. Anyway, the result would still be a collection of 100 paintings by January 01, 2010.

On a personal note, there are so many positive developments. Hubby and I just transferred to our new home. :) Aside from this, I will be enrolling in a design school next year (january). This will be an enrichment class in interior design. This will complement my architectural skills. I also am preparing for another design project. Hopefully, the client and I reach a favorable arrangement for the project. I am keeping my fingers crossed before the years ends... :)
