Thanks for that link, I'll go check it out but I think you could only get the accent if you used cut and paste from word or wordpad. <br /><br />Tracy, thank you. I just love botanical paintings and recently found another artist, Lyn Noble from Canada. I've prepared a post about her to put up soon.<br /><br />Watercolours of flowers! Gosh, it's hard enough watercolouring, let alone tiny details of flowers! <br /><br />The banner is our driveway taken about three weeks ago. A completely different scene now with the new, fresh green leaves and the plum on the left is now covered in white blossom.alaine@éclectiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367208674281749257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977933539325461111.post-42642802122651115932009-09-01T21:54:41.919+10:002009-09-01T21:54:41.919+10:00Very much enjoyed this post, Alaine!

And that chateau looks like home sweet home. ;o) I've always had a great fondness for botanical painting and prints, and especially the roses Redoute exquisitely created. I dream of taking a summer and doing watercolors of flowers--taking in all the tiny details. Oh, and must say, your new banner is idyllic...

We were about to head off in the car to an area up the road for our walk - that is our drive way.

As for me being your history teacher, <em>if</em> I can teach you anything, I'm thrilled but you certainly offer plenty of interesting items here for all of us. Redoute's work is beautiful isn't it; so detailed. If only the perfumes could be captured too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861397533660827678noreply@blogger.com
