I have in mind the T Stands for Tuesday blogger gathering as I look at the cup in the painting at the top of the post.

  3. I love Gauguin and the painting you chose is beautiful with the pretty view out of the window and the wonderful table layden with the brightly coloured oranges and lemons 😁. I'm loving your ATC creations too; the lace, butterfly, music and faces are so inspirational and who could forget your signature number "42" ...lol 😉. Happy T Day! J 😊 x

  5. My sincere apologies. I'm leaving this message for everyone. I had to take my friend Sally to the emergency room Monday afternoon. I stayed with her until the ER doctors ran several tests, then admitted her to the hospital. When I got home, I found my basement was flooded from the many rounds of rain we are having. I'm still getting water out because I have no sump pump. I'll be back by to share T just as soon as I have the water under control, because I don't want mold to set in. For those of you who may not know, Twin Peaks is a sports bar that specializes in busty young, scantily clad female servers.

  11. Wonderful ATC's, I liked the one prompted... Numbers and wondered what the question may have been.
    It is a lovely Gauguin painting you shared as well.
    Happy T day wishes.

    1. Ah! 42 is The Answer to the Meaning of Life, the Universe, and Everything in the book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I look for them and now sometimes create my own. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=42

  13. Love how you once again found us another painter with a connection to T. And I thought it was going to be all shapes and modern this week with your ATC's but then you surprised me. That's the best part of art, being surprised. Hope it was a good one. Hugs-Erika

  15. I like some of his paintings but I don't think I would have cared for him as a person at all--LOL! Fun and pretty ATCs. :)

  16. I am a HUGE fan of Gauguin and his art. Of course, I adore anything Impressionist. This was a really great entry for T this Tuesday, dear friend.

    LOVED the ATCs, but of course, my favorite was 42!!!!

  17. I've always liked Paul Gauguin's art, especially the Tahitian ones. You chose one I'm not familiar with to feature, D. Very nice.

    My favorite ATCs this week are faces and Butterflies.

    Happy T-day! Eileen xx
