Art Lesson: Henry Isaacs

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012

I came across Henry Isaacs’ work via the Kennebunkport Festival and haven’t been able to get it out of my mind since. His dreamy seascapes with their moody blue palettes remind me of home and being by the water, something I desperately miss now that I live in DC.

We had briefly discussed a trip to Maine this summer (among a million other destinations and hair brained road trip ideas) and suddenly it’s shot straight back to the top of my list. I’m already picturing the perfect spot to hang my Henry Isaac masterpiece..

P.S take a peek at some of his work that is being sold to benefit one room school houses in coastal Maine.

Art Lesson: Danielle Kroll

Danielle Kroll is taking fashion blogging up a notch and I’m loving the direction she’s going! On her eponymous blog the talented graphic designer and illustrator posts the most adorable renditions of her daily outfits. My personal favorite is the “relaxing-by-the-pool outfit” she sported during a birthday weekend in Palm Springs. The striped bikini top and heart shaped glasses are retro glam at its finest!

Rainbow Rag Rug | Anna’s Chair | Notebooks | Wedges | Earrings

If your week is in need of brightening, this round up should do the trick. I’m particularly obsessed with Anne Harwell’s rendition of Anna Spiro’s chair. Anna happens to be one of my very favorite interior designers and I die over this chair. What’s even more amazing is that Anne’s print has been turned into a needlepoint kit. If I only had the skill..

Art Lesson: Meg Biram

Fellow DC lady, Meg Biram, is what you might call a triple threat. In addition to authoring a popular blog and offering digital media consulting, she’s also a talented artist. Envious yet? The glam watercolor above is my latest favorite, but she also has some pretty amazing abstracts. I happen to have a gallery wall in the works in our new apartment and think one of Meg’s pieces would be the perfect addition, don’t you?

Art Lesson: Lulie Wallace

Wednesday, January 4th, 2012

I’m completely enamored with the still lifes of Charleston based artist Lulie Wallace. My personal favorite is “Flowers for Abigail” (shown at top) but I’d be thrilled to have any piece of her work hanging on my walls. Let’s add visiting Lulie’s studio to my list of reasons why I need to pack up and move south. To be honest, I hardly need much convincing!

P.S Lulie also has a blog which you should definitely add to your reader– I already have!
