Just so fun how that little bit of color makes everything so interesting.  Sometimes I think that yellow gets overlooked in design.  It makes such a great contrast here....

New Sarah Atkinson Art






So you know I am a fan of Sarah Atkinson's pieces and these are no different. The Dresses are a continuation of her Evening Out series. Love the colors.

And the ladies are to die for!  See my previous post about her here.

A little back ground on the artist from Grand Image:
Born in High Point, North Carolina in 1980, Sarah Atkinson grew up in a rural farming community. Surrounded by the beauty of nature and secluded by land, she developed a love for painting at a very young age. Her father, also an artist, encouraged her to pursue her passion. She spent much of her childhood in his studio painting at his side. Sarah went on to study fine arts at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. Here she developed a deep interest in figural studies and began to cultivate her contextual style of painting.

After college, she met and married another painter, Patrick Atkinson and then relocated to Charlotte North Carolina. During this time, Sarah was able to spend time experimenting and refined her approach to painting through new mediums and unconventional materials. She and her husband now share a studio in Charlotte where they live with their 2 children.


Sarah's ability to capture a timeless and seductive movement in her paintings is offset against an organic, often abstract backdrop. Amidst a sea of tar and beeswax, the pieces, in their final state, stand as elegant, yet bittersweet works that express an emotion of their own. Sarah Atkinson’s works are held in private collections throughout the United States, as well as internationally.

Temps Perdu Art pieces by Robert Biggs








I came across these amazing pieces while looking at the Hamptons Designer Show house in Traditional Home.  I love these!  

'Temps Perdu" in French translates to "lost time" or "things past" from Marcel Proust's famous novel.  It's an apt moniker for Biggs' artwork that are assembled from antique French ephemera: playbills, music scores, personal letters, calling cards. Each is constructed using the ancient art of Origami, used in a new and unexpected way.  Presented in an understated painted wood frame...

Eric Zener at Gallery Henoch




One of my favorite artists is starting a show today in New York!  For the last 5 years I have been in LOVE with the artwork of Eric Zener.  His ability to capture life amazes me.  I have a few limited edition prints in my home and I dream of someday having an original.  I say dream because I am not sure I would even have it out for fear that someone might touch it.  A few years back my husband and I were in New York and it happened to fall at the same time as one of his exhibitions.  I was so excited to see his paintings in person.  They were even more amazing, the detail and the amount of work that must go into each piece is just phenomenal, my husband was equally impressed.  So if you are in New York and you can see his work I highly recommend taking a bit of your time.

Sarah Atkinson art








I am so in love with these pieces.  I have found more and more lately that I really think that a great piece of art makes a space or room complete.  I think that art is one of those things that is sometimes overlooked in a space.  But a great piece that makes you smile every time you walk into the room, even if you don't realize it is an amazing contributor.

Grey in the bedroom..



I am in love with the butterfly sculpture in this room.. But what this room really reminds me of is this light that I really want but cannot figure out why or where I would put it..
