You saw the ink scribble, now here it is done up in Photoshop color. Photoshop in its greatness features a "transparent" paint simulation as if this were watercolor. I did a fair imitation of the curtain with the "toile" pattern on it. Ever wondered what a "toile" is? Didn't think so. "Toile" is a repeating, drawing-like scene printed on cloth. The scene is usually an idealized view of peasants and shepherdesses and old farm buildings. It was popular in the 19th century for "Victorian" decor. The window faces out into the lush vegetation of the yard. There was an air conditioner in my room but since I don't like AC very much, I opened the window and authentic mosquitoes flew in.

I had blue and white toile oilcloth tacked up behind a stove once, so I knew what it was; but haven't seen as much pink as blue. Looks like a pretty place, authentic mosquitoes and all.
