Dream State

I love beautiful paintings, clothes, pastries, teas, make-up, films, books, decorations...whatever...all of it. So what would it be like if they all went together? If I took a painting and thought of the all the things I love that went with it. What gorgeous outfit would I wear to see the painting? What would I eat afterwards? What would I put in my living room to remind of of it later? That's what this is. A confluence of lovely things as informed by a piece of fine art.

A little Marie-Antoinette to start

I have to start out with an absolutely edible, amazingly gorgeous painting: Marie-Antoinette 'a la rose' by Vigee le Brun.  I saw it when it came to the Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco and could not live without a poster of it in my room.  It's too fabulous.  Marie-Antoinette is too fabulous.  So I thought about the painting and what lovely things I would love to have/afford to "go with it." Like an 'a la rose' lifestyle. I made a collage of it all and then I will break it down into parts.  What to wear to the museum (or Versailles if you see it in its home), the makeup, what to eat after, what to put in your living room...
