Sunday Citar

Renoir

There are always flowers for those who want to see them.
Henri Matisse

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.
Louisa May Alcott


Enjoy more Sunday Citar with Fresh Mommy.

Gorgeous painting and I love the Henri Matisse quote. That is so awesome. Goes along with what I always tell my kids. Try to find the good in every situation...be content in everything:) Look for the flower. Love that.

Oooooo beautiful. Louisa May Alcott was such a wise woman. It's hard sometimes to only enjoy the beauty, but that's such a great message of continuing hope and inspiration.

Love the Matisse quote, isn't that the truth? The art world offers us gardens of flowers, all we have to do is look.

I love that quote from Henri Matisse! Sometimes life gets hard and we forget to look, but it sounds like you remember.
Have a wonderful day!

Love Renoir and this painting. His work is so soft and beautiful.

There are always flowers...These are my thoughts exactly-take a deep breath and go-with-the-flow because there is always good with the bad, right? (I wish my husband held to this philosophy though. LOL!)

I love this painting by Renoir. The colors and brushstroke are stunning. The quotes are quite inspiring as well. Thanks for sharing :)

Beautiful springtime quotes!! :)

Kim said...

I really like the flowers quote. I am by no means good at always seeing the flowers but when I choose to, it sure is a lovely way to live.

I've thought about you every day and need to write you a long email. Not that anything exciting has been happening around here. Hugs!

So beautiful...

melissa said...

I love that second quote, very wise words.

Teri said...

So very beautiful.

Funny, totally random thought here - a few years ago, my neighbor got a new dog. My kids kept saying his name was Moe Teese. It took me awhile to realize they meant Matisse. hehe

I love the first quote. I am going to tell that one to my kids. And tell them to always look for the flower!!! That is so good! :)
