Art Stuff

Well hello.

I trust you all had a fabulous weekend.

Mine was good.

For one, I spoke with my antique guy about doing a little trade of sorts...he's coming to my place this week to purge me of the antiques I just don't have the space for.

In return, I'll be able to pick a few things up from his shop that I've been eyeing.

One of them is a spooky man portrait...I. can. not. wait...he's awesome....all black and moody with a giant gold frame....yummilicious.

Cross your fingers for me that I have stuff my antique friend actually wants to buy please.

Otherwise, mood man will have to wait...and that would make me...

And you know what else would make me cry?

Finding out where this painting comes from and having some art fairy magically deliver it to my house...

...such an instance would cause immediate tears of joy I tell you.

I die over the painting.

Quirky and pretty...SO my thang.

And do you know what else floats my boat?

First there's this amazing print...


that was just sent to me from the ridonkulously talented Nancy Marcus.

Isn't she gorge?  

I haven't yet settled on the perfect home for her but had to show you a little peek.

Stay tuned...I'm thinking she might like a spot in the room that needs the most work in my house...aka...the master.

Perhaps fabulous phone lady is just the jumping off point I've been needing;)

And then there's this incredible package that literally arrived just this morning from the divine Kim Davies...


...a trifecta of art nude heaven.

Again, I'm still debating the absolute perfect spot for these beauties...at present, my first thought is my newly blackened bathroom.

Such a plan would require loss of one towel rack but whose kidding who...I'd SO much rather have this gorgeousness on the walls than yet another silver bar...husband will likely disagree since his brain always registers the practical the before pretty...which only means I'll have to get rid of said bar whilst he is at work;)

Just look how glamarrific they look against the black...


HE....VIN!

Doesn't fabulous art just make you giddy?

Nothing like it my friends...not in this girl's book anyways.

  3. my mom loves art, im just starting to appreciate it. but she insists i add it to each room, so im slowly starting.

    any advice on how to collect and gather art that you really LIKE versus just fitting a room??

  6. Christine, your taste in art is fantastic and you seriously need to curate a gallery/ online gallery/ shop/ boutique!

  7. Yeah, if you find out who that fabulous gal is by, let a sister know because it is truly fabulous...this is going to sound weird, but her face kind of reminds me of Courtney Love...if she wasn't a cracked-out whack job, natch. (c:

  8. If you find the artist of the quirky girl with butterflies portrait, PLEASE do share! I write an art blog and that style is right up my alley! Reminds me a bit of Lu Cong, but seems a touch too quirky for him.

    Your gifted nudes are lovely! Perfect for the newly blackened bath.

  12. Yay! Rachel found the artist for you :) Thank you for the lovely mention my friend!! I am so happy to have a friend like you that appreciates & supports art in such a big way. And Kim Davies? TALENT!

    Btw, sorry I have been a bit absentee lately, I'm writing my thesis and barely finding time to scope the blogosphere as usual!! Hugs,

    Nancy xo

  15. wow... your bedroom in its current state sounds absolutely horrific.. idea... you show us yours, and we'll show you ours.. there's motivation to finally give the most important room in the house the attention it deserves. Really!... Our headboard is an old mantle, not bolted to the wall because of the chair rail molding!

Sorry about the annoying captias...tried turning them off for a day and my inbox exploded with crap.

Smooches to everyone who perservered and left a sweet comment anyways! xoxo
