He painted the most beautiful portraits of Millicent's boys in the same vein as Fatio's daughter...lifelike with botanical imagery...capturing their handsome innocence of youth. You can see their portraits in the latest Millicent book, A LIFE IN FULL.The Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159724663060240920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048968877751194418.post-10671925160860660342014-07-29T01:26:56.375-04:002014-07-29T01:26:56.375-04:00Beautiful portraits!

And a more charming portrait of a child I have never seen!<br /><br />How sad he died in a plane crash! And pretty young? (how old?) Oh well; a good way to go!<br /><br />My favorite blogpost ! Completely captivating! Part of it reminds me of my guest house we built! (I had not seen these when we built it! I was inspired by the pool house at Yves St. Laurent's pool house in Provence! Take a peek!<br /><br />I think they all were derived and inspired by this man!! Bernard Monvel!<br /><br />And he is the only person I have ever seen portraits by; whom I would hire to do mine!<br /><br />Beautiful and colorful.....and his portraits capture the personalities of the subjects!<br /><br />Thank you~!!

And again in the Bahamas....and again a few more times!<br /><br />Almost the exact floor plan! Perhaps both inspired by the man at the Paris show in 1925! I adore the "sleuthing"!!<br /><br />Dreamiest beach house EVER!!!<br /><br />Penelope<br /><br />ps will research! <br /><br /> wonderful post!
