We got a few new houseplants this spring, adding to our already large collection. My personal favorite is this Echeveria succulent, with it's muted shades of purples, blues, and greens. It has a beautiful, painterly texture to it, it looks like someone colored it with pastels.. I think these are my favorite colors in the whole world.
I've been on a bit of a blog break, but I am going to try to get back into the flow and post some new work. It's beginning to feel a bit like fall in the air, and it's really my favorite time to shoot the landscape - the tourists are on their way out and the fall color is on it's way in!
I'd also like to say a thank you to a few lovely ladies who've featured my work recently..
First of all, I want to send out a big thanks for a beautiful feature that Linda from Heartfire at Home did on me recently.. I have been really enjoying her blog which is not only gorgeous but so thoughtfully written. I know it is definitely going to be one of my favorite blogs to keep up with - it's truly interesting and thought provoking. If you think about artwork as much as I do, I know you'll be inspired by her thoughts on inspiration and color.
I also want to send a big thank you to Kate from a really sweet & beautiful design blog called The Purple Artichoke for featuring me as her blog's first featured artist! I think everything about Kate's selections are exquisite and I can't wait for more. I am particularly enamored with all of these handmade handbags and all of these owls. I just love Kate's taste and sensibility.
And this month I am thrilled to be participating again in PaperNStitch, a design showcase featuring a handpicked selection of artists and artisans, many from Etsy. I always love Brittni's choices for papernstitch, but this month's are particularly wonderful and fun! This month there are some neat shops like lettergirl who does gorgeous handlettering, Leanne Graeff's funky tea towels and linens, and Brittni's own stunning paintings - as well as some of my favorite fellow Etsy photographers Jetty Kolobaric and D.S. Brennan.
