Art :: Flying Houses {Part II}



I know this is probably a huge blogging faux pas...but although I blogged about Laurent Chehere's "Flying Houses" series a year ago, it is just too good not to share again!  When I decided to make this week all about Paris, his beautiful images of Parisian homes and buildings suspended in the air were the first thing that came to my mind for my Friday Art post.  Ever since stumbling upon his work in early 2013 I haven't been able to get it out of my head {his image of the flying circus tent was my desktop background for months}.  So imagine my delight when I went to his website and saw he added even more fantastical images of Parisian homes flying effortlessly through the sky.  I love the picture of the house filled with zoo animals, the image of the crypt floating through the sky {skeleton and all}, and the close-ups of some of the curious little details so easily missed with a simple glance at the screen.  So that technically means I'm not completely "re-blogging"...right?  Regardless, I hope you love his whimsical dreamscapes as much as I do!

Are you as big of a Francophile as me?  If so, see the rest of this week's Paris posts :: Parisian Style // A Day in Paris // Parisian Apartments // A French Chateau // Chocolate Pots de Creme

    Stunning! This creative and eye catching art is quite arresting. Really like the laundry fluttering in the breeze and yes, the flying house full of zoo animals is something I would love to see.
