A Little Night Music


Sometimes a girl
just wants to have fun!

I found the pitcher
in a secondhand shop

around the corner
from Saturday's farmers' market

where I bought
the magenta dahlias
from one of my
favorite farmer florists.

Good Night
from Vienna!

    You are a true artist Merisi. These are my very favourite pictures.

    I have collected jugs with flowers on and they hang on my welsh dresser. I covet yours.

  6. Such attitude! Such panache! Such fun! Magenta seems to spreading its joy lately. I found a brand new magenta Crayola crayon lying on the street the other day! Not as splendid as your 2nd hand market find, but free and fun and perhaps a sign from the universe to encourage me in my art-making.

  11. What a find your jug was, and how lovely with the matching Dahlias.
    Maria Callas was a delight to hear.
    I thoroughly enjoyed all of them.

  15. .

    I am really touched by the resonance to this little pitcher image which happened entirely by chance! I bought a large bouquet of mostly orange dahlias at the farmers market and needed a vase for a few magenta ones hiding amongst their orange sisters. I left the pitcher at the kitchen counter and the next morning, when the sun was streaming through the window, I simply took a few shots because I liked the light.

    Btw, I am not into collecting things, but I am always scouting for small creamy white milk jugs. This one was a bit larger than the rest of my "collection" (half a dozen at the most), but it was irrestibly beautiful in my eyes.

  16. What a beautiful subject matter. I love the "hot" lighting....it makes the magenta just jump out of the picture. You are a true artist, Merisi!
