Brighter here than in real life, it’s soft muted colors and light, textured frame works well where it hangs.
This is closer to the actual colors
A copy of the artists signature
From his twelfth year he practiced successfully in Paris as a painter of fans. At 21 he first exhibited at the Salon. Having lost his money by the failure of a Paris bank, he moved in 1890 to New York and in 1896 held an exhibition of flower pieces which secured him instant recognition. In 1899 he moved to California and two years later built a beautiful house at Hollywood, which became celebrated for its magnificent flower gardens. De Longpre painted only perfect specimens of flowers; with delicacy of touch and feeling for bosoms he united scientific knowledge, and he also knew how to give expression to the subtle essence of the flowers.

This photo was taken about six years ago when the living room was still peach. It has since been painted a creamy white and all peach accessories have been removed. Not the de Longpre ~ it adds a hint of color to my very monochromatic room.

Bonjour,
What a beautiful and exquisite painting. I am a French painter but I never learned about Paul de Longpré before you posted that.
I am happy to have stopped by your blog.
Thank you.

Very delicate and pretty. It is just the right touch for your living room. Do you have any peonies in your garden?
