I just love her dress !

I love her matching pendant and bracelet !

I just wonder whats is that violet thing behind here

A mirror or a fan or something which I cannot decipher !!

The Starry Night - Vincent van Gogh

This is 'dreamy' painting which most of us would have seen in our dreams.
I love this one for the shades of blue it carries.

Paying the Harvesters

I love the pastel shades used here and the 'expression' on the face of the man sitting. The painting's title and this man got no relationship.But he is in the 'focus' , unquestionably.

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon et ses Enfants

This painting got too much of details which cannot be missed.

The man's depression reflecting on his face or
the younger kid playing with small vessels and sand or
the other kid dreaming.
