― Wendy Delsol, Stork

Free Vintage Outdoor Clipart for Collage, Graphic Design, Papercrafts or Scrapbooking: Two Ladies Outdoors (Set 2)

She was incomprehensible, for, in her, soul and spirit were one
― the beauty of her body was the essence of her soul.
She was that unity sought for by philosophers through many centuries.
In this outdoor waiting room of winds and stars she had been sitting for a hundred years,
at peace in the contemplation of herself.
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and the Damned

A good roast of sun, it slows you, lets you relax–and out here if there's anything wrong,
you can see it coming with bags of time to do what's next.
This is the place and the weather for peace, for the cultivation of a friendly mind.
― A.L. Kennedy, Day

Vintage Art Appreciation: Souvenir of Acherese by Jean-Leon Gerome

Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting
and autumn a mosaic of them all.
― Stanley Horowitz
I originally found this fall landscape painting — Souvenir of Acherese, painted in 1903 by Jean-Leon Gerome (1824 – 1904) — on Wikimedia Commons, which I cropped and colour-enhanced. You can download a 7" x 5" @ 300 ppi JPEG of my digitally altered version without a watermark here. I thought it would make an attractive decoration for a scrapbooking project or a Thanksgiving card but you can also simply print and frame for wall art.

Vintage Art Appreciation: Summer Meadow, Pobojka by Stanislav Yulianovich Zhukovsky

Summer Meadow, Pobojka, 1938
by Stanislav Yulianovich Zhukovsky (1873 – 1944)
Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.
― Henry James

Spring flew swiftly by, and summer came; and if the village had been beautiful at first, it was now in the full glow and luxuriance of its richness. The great trees, which had looked shrunken and bare in the earlier months, had now burst into strong life and health; and stretching forth their green arms over the thirsty ground, converted open and naked spots into choice nooks, where was a deep and pleasant shade from which to look upon the wide prospect, steeped in sunshine, which lay stretched out beyond. The earth had donned her mantle of brightest green; and shed her richest perfumes abroad. It was the prime and vigour of the year; all things were glad and flourishing.
― Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist

All in all, it was a never-to-be-forgotten summer — one of those summers which come seldom into any life, but leave a rich heritage of beautiful memories in their going — one of those summers which, in a fortunate combination of delightful weather, delightful friends and delightful doing, come as near to perfection as anything can come in this world.
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne's House of Dreams

Free Vintage Garden Clipart for Altered Art, Graphic Design, Papercrafts or Scrapbooking: Conversations in the Garden 1 & 2

In the best conversations, you don't even remember what you talked about, only how it felt.
It felt like we were in some place your body can't visit,
some place with no ceiling and no walls and no floor and no instruments.
― John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

In the background is some shrubbery and a sundial.

Vintage Art Appreciation: A Rooftop with Flowers by Joaquín Sorolla

A Rooftop with Flowers, 1906
by Joaquín Sorolla (1863 – 1923)

Every time I imagine a garden in an architectural setting,
it turns into a magical place.
I think of gardens I have seen,
that I believe I have seen, that I long to see,
surrounded by simple walls, columns, arcades or the facades of buildings -
sheltered places of great intimacy where I want to stay for a long time.
― Peter Zumthor

Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm.
It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm,
and in those times of trouble when you are most alone,
the memory of love will bring you home.
― John Denver

HIDEAWAY
Preserve that
secret, homey spot
in your heart,
as sanctuary
where dreams may be softly tended,
and revived.
― Tara Estacaan

Free Illustrated Template for Graphic Design, Poetry Writing or Scrapbooking: Victorian Walled Garden with Fuchsia, Primroses and Morning Glories

It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well
in the hardest hours of grief.
But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window,
or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed,
or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses.
― Colette
