Staircase: Cour d’honneur, Les Invalides
“Les Invalides, commonly known as Hôtel national des Invalides, is a complex of buildings situated within the 7th arrondissement of Paris. The Hôtel des Ivalides was commissioned in 1670 by Louis XIV in order to provide accommodation and hospital care for wounded soldiers. Constructed from 1671 to 1676 by Libéral Bruant, then by Jules Hardouin-Mansart and Robert de Cotte, it is one the most prestigious monuments in Paris.
The complex operated as a hospital and retirement home for French war veterans up until the early 20th century. By the early 1900s the dwindling number of veterans led to the building being deemed too large for its purpose. The remaining veterans were transferred to other facilities in Paris and this paved the way for the museums to open in place of the hospital. The modern complex does however still include the facilities for about a hundred elderly or incapacitated former soldiers.
The Musée de l’Armée or the Military Museum of the Army of France was created [within the Les Invalides complex] in 1905 just after the World Fair and is the result of the merger of the Musée d’Artillerie, opened in 1796, and the old Musée de l’Armée created 100 years later. It extends over 8,000 square meters (86,100 square feet) and is made up of a museum and two churches with some 500,000 objects. This makes it the largest museum of military history in France, and one of the leading ones in the world.”
Happy Window Wednesday! 😊

Each and every room, stairwell and corridor in the Art Institute, Chicago suggest delicious ways to create images. This location was near the cafeteria.
What a delightfully creative cauldron for the students who attend the School of the Art Institute, one of the top art and design schools in the USA offering undergraduate and graduate degrees.

My texture.
Created for TMI's "13" challenge and for the Hypothetical Awards' 2nd Annual ~ ARTYfishal artyFISHES ~ Underwater Art Challenge.
Created from a blank canvas.
Each fish painting (all done in Photoshop using a mouse) is based on a fish found in nature. Of course you would never find this assortment of fish all in the same environment since some are salt water and others fresh water dwellers. Nevertheless, they live happily together in my ichthyological fantasy ;-).
Created with vintage & decorative
papers, a vintage image of a bird,
a Prima flower, glitter, ink, and a Swarovski crystal.
Not available for trade.
When I think about the kind of person I really am at heart, I'd describe myself first and foremost as an introvert. Some people laugh at this because my work suggests otherwise but the reality is that it took me years to find the courage to model. It's something I'd always wanted to do but it also terrified me because I am *definitely* the kind of person who is most comfortable with a good book by the pool.
It usually takes me a long time to feel comfortable around someone and even longer to start to really be myself. This passion of mine forces me to push myself outside of my comfort zone regularly and I do it because I think it makes me the best version of myself; even when I struggle sometimes with the need for privacy vs the need to do what I love.
Ultimately this is my dream. I'm not really 'model material' in so many ways but I love it to bits and it pushes me outside of my comfort zone regularly - which I think is the secret to finding fulfilment in your life. Not all risks are worth the reward but if you don't push yourself every so often, you'll never know if that one decision could have been the one to change your life.

Created for the Saturday Self Challenge :- Peace.
The rose represents peace ( not sure if it is a peace rose but it is the closest I have in the garden and it has been there for seventeen years ) and the candles are self explanatory . I did have in mind the candles for the square challenge before I used the tiles . Both shots are SOOC apart from cropping and a little straightening of the candles and put together in My Craft Studio .
As Val said we all need peace - I will go further to say Peace , Love and Understanding would go a long way !!!!
Oh Val --Penn-Bloedh Lowen Dhiso Jy ( " Happy Birthday To You " in Cornish )
Well , with a title like that the first thing that comes to mind are the days when we wore bright coloured loons and slop shirts BUT no shoes ! So get some flowers for your hair and off to San Francisco with you .

Cranmer Courts was very badly damaged in the quakes that unexpectedly hit Christchurch. Originally big photographs were put into the holes where the doors and windows were, but now these massive pictures have been put across the boarded up ends of the buildings to keep them alive in the minds of the people of Christchurch.
The project was thought up by Mike Hewson.
