We Copy to Learn

That's what Sarah tells us. It makes sense too. You find an artist whose work you love, and copy one of their paintings to learn how to create the same effect. So, I copied this Kenton Nelson painting (original here. It was also in Something's Gotta Give - above the fireplace in the bedroom!).

Kenton Nelson Swimsuit Painting

I'm really happy with the way it turned out. It's hanging over my fireplace mantel now!

Also, Sandi has been learning to paint like Kelly Reemtsen. She has done some wonderful stuff, but decided she would try something totally original. So I modeled for her!

Buzz Off

Then she gave it to me! It's in my dining room!

I've been enjoying my painting classes so much! Of course, it helps that I have such a wonderful teacher! Check out the Lemley House Art Guild blog to see works by some of the other wonderful artists!

Happy Memorial Day, Y'all!

I'll be sunbathing in my swimming pool (which does not look like this), sipping on a Coke Zero (yum!), and eating grilled chicken!



Have a good one!

Classic Southern Design

Can my next house puh-lease look like this?

Classic Southern Design 1

At least on the outside - I could SO put that on the ocean. Um...assuming I do get to move there one day.

AND a white kitchen with an antler chandelier? Be still my heart....

Go check out the Southern Living Article. The rest of the house is beautiful too!

Bienvenidos a La Fiesta! (Welcome to the Party!)

I love Anthropologies newest fashion set...I think.

fiesta 2

I mean, in part it reminds me of summer barbecues....

fiesta 5

But then, it also reminds me a little bit of mission trips to Mexico when I was in high school.

fiesta 6

Had a lot of fun on those!

fiesta 7

Also reminds me of a sorority luau we had my freshman year. Also fun!

fiesta 8

So I want to go to Anthropologie's party. In that shack on the beach.

Join the party here.

See other Anthropologie posts here!

Modern-Day Ariel?

I found this in my morgue the other day. So in love with it! Sometimes I'm afraid to paint something I love so much (what if I mess up?).

Took me forever to remember where it came from, but I finally found it here (the other images are incredible too!).

Shoot!

I'm constantly inspired by my collection of vintage cameras, and I've been saving images of fabulous ladies and their cameras for a while, so I thought I'd share them. Enjoy!
