PlainAir

I happened to stroll by an Etsy shop, PlainAir, a few months ago. Toledo, Ohio artist Laura Hamilton has a very distinctive style. Her acrylic landscapes are impressionistic, colorful, almost "pixelized". In other words, I like them and think they're neat. She's quite expressive when it comes to seasons in Ohio, her study of color through landscapes are vividly bright and her color combinations are wonderfully intricate. Another visit to her shop today and she has even more fabulous paintings - if you haven't been, take a trip! And support Etsy artists because the earth without art is just eh, and so is your living room.

Beautiful Genius.

Titling this blog post was simple because it describes both Lindsay Cowles, abstract artist, and The Shirt by Rochelle Behrens. The creations are sophisticated, smart and wildly popular.

A friend introduced Lindsay Cowles to me because of my involvement in contemporary interior design. Her works are perfect for bringing color, depth and vibrancy to a space. Lindsay's work is so involved, yet loose and natural. Her captivating pieces really do "make" a room.

And another friend introduced me to The Shirt by Rochelle Behrens. She works with Rochelle Behrens, getting the word out, empowering women and giving them the freedom to look good while feeling good. If Oprah deemed it her favorite thing, you know it has to be good. The Shirt is a great looking blouse that secretly prevents wardrobe malfunctions. And, I'm thrilled that I get to go buy one when The Shirt makes it sojourn to Raleigh, tomorrow night!


All of you in or near Richmond have the ultimate luxury - The Shirt has paired with Lindsay Cowles for an evening of art and exquisite design. So, if you're in Richmond or nearby, please go see!

A few of Lindsay's works and a few Shirts ( I believe you can shop for both online! )

Please follow the links, as I just chose a few favorites; these ladies are both wonderful artists and designers!

Like I said...

The Earth without art is just Eh. Here's an artist, Dave Murray, that uses his own pencil/charcoal drawings and photoshop to create graphic pieces of artwork. Enjoy!







And another inspiring artist, Alvaro Tapia Hidalgo, for your viewing...







Both artists were found on the Decurate website.

the earth without art is just eh.









These pieces of abstract art range in date from the early 1900s to today. It's pretty interesting to see the different styles used by different artists. There's a giant canvas staring at me in the corner that I aim to attack soon, just looking for inspiration from other artists. I'll share when it's in the works!

Abstract Thought

Abstract art is everywhere. And "everywhere" means I've seen it in a traditional colonial house stocked with English antiques to the 92,000+ items that came back when I searched for abstract art on Etsy. Abstract art has definitely made its statement in fashion with graphic colorblock tees, printed dresses and ties. Sometimes fashion sees the trend first.
Now, canvases with splashes and drips and lines are a fantastic way to add color to a room that lacks a focal point. Or, if you can't hang a 6' painting, try a throw pillow...
