Goodbye Lenin
One of my favourite soundtracks, and some of my favourite material from Yann Tiersen. I've never seen the movie, but the music is extraordinarily beautiful.
Best enjoyed whilst browsing through the ARC's Waterhouse collection. :-)

Music Lesson
By Lord Frederick Leighton. Sisterly love. I love the sumptuousness of the fabrics, so beautifully rendered.

Welcome
I seem to be addicted to creating new blogs. Actually, this is only the third blog I have started.
Here on my Gallery, I intend to create an index of my favourite artworks, castles, stately homes, gardens, etc. - in short any beautiful thing or place that I love. This blog will be for my own reference as much as anything - a place to keep a record of my favourite artists, and the places that I would love to visit someday.
Well, here goes!
~Elise
