    Exquisite beauty!

    Thought that we needed a thread to share our favourite links and photos of exquisite beauty to bring joy to others.

    I think this artist is amazing. Can you imagine the work involved! Would love to visit Valencia and see it.

    Amazing, the cross stich roses! I love juxtaposed artistry—needlework and buildings are great! It reminds me of all the knitted cosies that were around trees the past few years. I never figured out what that was about but they were a lot of them.

    I just bought a print of a wee Scottish cottage:

    I love the simplicity of this, and the suggestion of light.

    OMG LOVE it.

    I must say having a "wee hoose" myself, one of the huge downsides from my POV is NO wall space. I had a lot of wall art that I truly loved in my NJ house and nothing fits here. So as much as I love your print, IL, and the leaves that Jane posted, and I'd be tempted to buy something from those artists, they wouldn't fit. Maybe the print would make good greeting cards? Wait, no-one sends greeting cards any more.

    I'm thinking of doing something like this. If I did, all my angst about wall paint colors would just disappear.

    I am doing the three rounds in my French bedroom. Hung from a moire ribbonor a silken cord from the picture railing. That seems very French to me. Of course this plan exits only in my mind...

    The wee Scottish cottage goes with a different grouping. It is decidedly not
    french!

    Very nice! I would worry about the beautiful cross stitch being negatively effected by weather, but still beautiful.

    I've curated thousands of pictures of different art from prehistoric to modern illustration, and haven't even begun to scratch the surface of the loveliness that people create.
