Pretty but pricey

I like these tiny 15x15cm oil paintings by Lisa Hirst, but at 110 pounds each, I think they are a little pricey.  If they were a little larger perhaps I'd consider it?

I'm so excited.....

and I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control and I think I like it, oh yeah!!!

Ok, sorry I got a bit carried away, but I'm super excited to share with you this original painting I purchased from Black & Spiro last Friday. The colours will work perfectly in our home, only problem is, where to hang it?  It would look perfect in so many rooms.

Once it's home and hung I'll post more photos of where we decided to make it's home.

New artwork love

Anna at ABT has just posted some amazing artwork by Holly Farrell. I instantly fell in love with these book paintings too.  

However, I also love these sweet little girls dresses. Oh how I'd love to hang on of these in Olivia's room.




Holly's work is so realistic. I, just like Anna, thought they were photographs too at first glance. This is another of my faves.

Thanks Anna for introducing me to Holly's beautiful work.

One more Janet Hill

Here is my latest Janet Hill purchase.  To say that I love her (Zelda is her name) is an understatement.  At present she is resting on top of our mantle, however there are a few walls in our home she would look perfect on.

Camile

I can't get these gorgeous watercolours out of my head.  They are the work of Brooklyn artist, Bella Foster.  I think Camile would look lovely in my daughter's bedroom.  It reminds me of her alot.

Who are your favourite artists of the moment?

More artwork love

Ever since I read about Canadian artist Janet Hill I've been obsessed with her little treasures. Janet normally offers one or two paintings a day on etsy but you have to be quick! I've been been pipped at the post a few times during the check out process.

Here is a collection of Janet's paintings I have hanging in my studio office at home. I purchased the desk from eBay. But what I love the most is my chair. It's an antique captains chair from the 1800's also purchased on eBay.
