So that's what I need to plant outside my bedroom window so that I can sleep more soundly... I like the way you tell and draw this tale. :)

Indie.Tea ~ I hope you have some blooming near you sometime soon.

Mise ~ I'd buy it. It's quite nice to be Wistful now and then.

Thanks, Cali ~ you should see the way the light shimmers off those colours. It's magic.

Got to love the colors of Venice! Not sure which I prefer: the purple wisteria (almost wrote hysteria!), the aqua (almost wrote agua!) shutters or the pink lampposts. Superb job, Shell!

Now there's a princess with backbone and no need to conform. I imagine she'll be marketing her own wisteria parfum (Wist, for the Modern Femme) for next season's collections.

Lovely aesthetic "meditation" on wisteria and rich and restful slumbers of a princess. I've always loved wisteria. :)

Alexa ~ heh heh!

Katie ~ perhaps I'll brew some tonight so it's not too forlorn...

2010-08-28T12:40:20.287+10:00

What princess wouldn't want to live inside this beautifully-drawn Venice dreamscape?! I love the thought of chamomile tea being put out because the wisteria is a better soporific for our princess.

Oh, wait—perhaps it WAS the prosecco (in addition ...

2010-08-28T12:35:42.124+10:00

Oh, wait—perhaps it WAS the prosecco (in addition to the beauty, of course)!

Thanks, Alexa! I'm glad your slumber is drunk...

2010-08-28T11:07:41.581+10:00

Thanks, Alexa! I'm glad your slumber is drunk on beauty rather than prosecco. {Not that a glass or two would go astray...}

Virginia ~ {blush} Merci! I'm so happy it's nearly spring here...

Hiker ~ just so you know, I'm looking forward to seeing it when completed.

Merci, Genie ~ your local wisteria sounds every bit as gorgeous as the Venetian kind.

Margaret ~ it was news to me, also. Who'd have thought!

PopCultureNerd ~ it certainly wasn't! What timing. Please, avert your gaze to this one instead.

2010-08-28T10:37:18.849+10:00

Is it just me or does that lamppost look like Lumiere from BEAUTY AND THE BEAST? He also looks like he's sleeping, perhaps recovering from his "Be Our Guest" number.

I went to Alain's site and saw a picture of a porn star. I thought, "That can't be what inspired Shell's illo."

Happy weekend!

Had not idea wisteria was part of the pea family. Lovely colors in this watercolor.

2010-08-28T02:26:31.469+10:00

Shell, mon amie, this is lovely and I can smell the wisteria from here! Where I live the wisteria can take over tall trees which make it especially beautiful in the spring. You capture Venice so beautifully -- meep!

Passe un bon weekend!

2010-08-28T01:29:39.619+10:00

As Virginia said, lovely reminder of spring now that everything is dry and brown. (And I swear, when I finally get this house painted, I'm using your palette, just need to decide which one.)

YOU are our little princess Shell dear and we love...

2010-08-27T23:24:18.665+10:00

YOU are our little princess Shell dear and we love every single illo. Today, I can even smell that sweet wisteria. It's not in bloom here now but it will be in the spring.
Bon weekend,
V

2010-08-27T23:23:53.581+10:00

I always sleep like a drunken princess in Venice—knocked out, no doubt, by all that beauty. Once again, Shell, you've worked your meep-ly magic with a marvelous mini and a tale to set us all dreaming.
Mille grazie!

Thank you, Favourite Vintage Finds ~ you, too, my sweet!

Petrea ~ sounds like a job for Altadena Hiker. {As for the illos, the day always feels better when I draw...}

All things French ~ thank you, Princess. :)

So exquisitely painted! - I'm sure that Alain would be impressed! - and I would definitely sleep like a princess under the sweet perfume of that gorgeous wisteria

2010-08-27T16:16:05.324+10:00

Oh, this one is me, Shell. This is ME. I sleep like that petulant princess and I need some wisteria by my window.

How do you manage to turn out these treasures every week?
