I was so surprised, but oh so pleased when my friend Céline, of the French blog Céline Chollet Aquarelles, emailed me that she had a surprise for me and that I had to visit her blog to discover what the surprise was!
Céline had to make some aquarels for a new exhibition in the Musée d’Art Naïf de Noyers-sur-Serein (https://www.noyers-et-tourisme.com) and she decided to make an aquarel of my orangery because the warm color palette and the sober character of the Belgian interiors inspired her, she told on her blog.
Can you imagine how surprised I was landing at her blogpage and discovering this most beautiful aquarel of my orangery?!!
Can you believe Céline realised her aquarel using only a few pictures of my orangery of which I posted some pictures once?!
Here you see some of the pictures Céline had filed on her computer.

And this is the finished aquarel of our orangery!!!
Isn’t it amazing??!! I just love it!!

Hello dear Greet,
The aquarel is really beautiful! Your orangery is so lovely, it could not help but be nice.
I have not had a chance yet to see about getting my blog attached to an email. I will as soon as I have time. I just got back from my trip out west and I have been run off my feet, I am having company for the next month, so things will be out of sync around her for a while.
Hugs, Cindy

You know your orangery is one of my favorite rooms ever, and the fabulous watercolor is such a great gift. Must head over to check her work!
I can't draw to save my life so to me this is extra amazing. (The image of Tina by the desk looks like it is taken out of a movie set!).
Your orangery is a dream and of all the interiors she could have chosen – she chose the best!
Happy new week – to you both.
