Foto Friday – Fleur

In 1978,  my parents vacationed in Malta, and to my surprise they brought me back an oil painting.     See, in 1978, I was very into oil paintings.  Oil painting gave a home a touch of sophistication, at least that was what I thought.

   So, an oil painting was perfect for me.  I could not believe how the artist captured such beautiful flowers.  And the colors of this bouquet blended well with my decor, even to this day.   The only problem  was the painting was given to me rolled up.  It wasn’t framed!   Getting the painting framed was easy enough, however the cost of the frame lessened my bank account by $150.00.

Well, I did get my monies worth, after 40 years this painting still hangs in my home.  Not sure what happened to the artist, but his painting hangs on.
