Through the window

I finally got around to joining in with another Style Imitating Art  with Jess at Animated Cardigan.
This beautiful stained glass entitled "Spring" was the inspiration piece, designed by John La Farge.
Let's stop to admire it! Isn't it beautiful. So bright and detailed.

The colour  of the background was an instant outfit creator in my mind.  That shade of, let's say it altogether... TARDIS blue, put me in mind of a real favourite dress of mine.

Here's my interpretation.


I adore this Dorothy Perkins dress which I wore for my orchestra's Peter and the Wolf concert last year (as my role as the bird)- I've worn it in a similar way but with different items excepting the dress. I can finally wear this dress at school because my previous headteacher also owned this dress so I was careful not to wear it to school in case we inadvertently matched! Embarassing, right?

The dress is, of course, self-explanatory as to the reason for choice, as are the Irregular Choice shoes.  The cardigan was an attempt to pick out the dark/turquoisey green hues in the background.  The necklace was a nod to the life and vibrancy of the picture- it was a leaving present from the Academy from my lovely work colleague Nikki! Finally, a flower in my hair

How would you have interpreted this painting?

Feeling a little lonely tonight. CBC, who is now on holiday, has travelled up to Northumberland, via Derby and Manchester to visit friends. My holiday doesn't begin till the weekend.  It's amazing how used you can get to living with someone. 5 years of living alone,  I was fine. The house now seems empty! It's probably all in my mind.

Hope you are well.
