Our Andalusian sky is slowly turning from blue to grey meaning no more breakfast on the roof terrace until our friend, the sun appears again. I am perusing through my stack of old World of Interiors magazines and love this article about Constable's skies studies. He made approximately a hundred of those between 1821 and 1822. He called this specific activity, skying and his favorite times for skying were noon and sunset.
Now I feel very inspired to have some skying done on my bathroom ceiling !

Me gusta el concepto de "skying"!
Happy weekend to you too!!!
When I first read your title I read "Happy Skyping" and I thought... oh, Lala has got Skype now. :-)
Isn't the sky amazing! The entrance to the whole Universe.
Oh, those are beautiful!I love the idea of 'skying the bathroom ceiling!
And as for the medieval market bellow....I am quite envious! ;) Dates and turrones that look heavenly and strangely shaped cheese! Ok, we´re having one in Cáceres in less then one month....wanna see if it´s as good as yours! I´ll let you know :D
Thanks for introducing me to "skying." What a beautiful way to spend the middle of the day!
Nous aussi, ici aussi l'été indien est terminé ...Le ciel se couvre , le vent est là et les manteaux aussi
Lala, I do love the idea of 'skying'...xv
That would be so lovely. I hope you do it.
My father painted the sky on our washroom ceiling,as a child I remember that being the room I loved.Go for it!
So beautiful. You've inspired me to investigate Constable's sky studies.
Um, just saw the hardcover book of Constable's cloud & sky studies on Amazon: Starts at $525 dollars. . .
absolutely beautiful, Lala!
you always have such unique posts.
Lala, I dreamed that my family visited you. We all cooked together and had lazy days. I will hope it comes true.
Look at these beautiful skies.
