This week, the subject for DPW was any  insect.
I tried to choose one I didn't know, so it is a butterfly gathering a mauve flower.

Gwen-ha-du ( white and black

This is the flag of Brittany. It is composed of five black stripes representing its French speaking areas (high Brittany) and four white stripes its Breton speaking areas (low Brittany); the ermine spots indicate the whole province.
It was considered for years as a separatist symbol; now,no longer having any political connotation,it can be seen everywhere in Brittany, and flown on sail and fishing boats.
Brittany is the province where I was born and where I lived for twenty years.
Of course, with those stripes, it still was inspired by DPW!
Il s'agit du drapeau Breton.Il se compose de cinq bandes noires représentant les diocèses où l'on parlait Français, et quatre bandes blanches pour ceux de langue Bretonne. Les queues d'hermine indiquent la province dans sa globalité. Longtemps considéré comme un symbole séparatiste, il n'a désormais plus de connotation politique, et on peut le voir partout en Bretagne, à terre et en mer.
Je suis née en Bretagne et y ai vécu vingt ans.
Evidemment, ces rayures étaient encore inspirées par DPW!

I was inspired this week by the subject about stripes, so there is my second attempt .It's a piece of fabric, I had a lot of fun doing this. 

J'ai été inspirée cette semaine avec les rayures, aussi voici ma deuxième participation.Il    s'agit d'un morceau de tissu, et c'était très agréable à  réaliser .

C'était ma participation pour le défi de DPW, où on nous demandait de peindre des rayures. Je ne voulais pas entrer dans les détails, donc...

White lilies

This month, on PADT, we were given by Lela Stankovic a lovely picture of white lilies.

She attracted our attention on the great varieties of colours we can find in those white colours.Before sending my painting to PADT , I read several times the instructions of Lela, and each time discover something new which gives me the idea to start again a better one, that is very stimulating.
