from The Allure of Style

So, blue and white Chinese porcelain, pink and white roses, navy and white stripes, and Mary McDonald.  Oh, and those sandals.  What's not to love?

Yesterday afternoon I started getting emails and texts from friends telling me that Mary McDonald had linked to this post on Facebook and Twitter. FUN!

Q & A with Artist Erin Fitzhugh Gregory

Image
"Botantica 6" Many of you will already be familiar with Erin Gregory and her incredibly beautiful work.  If she's new to you, you're in for such a treat!  If you already know of Erin, you'll enjoy learning more about her and getting to see these seriously GORGEOUS paintings. I've been dying over her work for a very long time, and am thrilled to get to share her with you. "Spring 3" How/why did you first begin creating art? I remember a piece of art I brought home from pre-school and the feeling of satisfaction I got from being able to express myself on paper.

Blue and White Monday: Cynthia Collins Interiors

What's more, she's a fellow Dallasite.  I know you'll enjoy the gorgeous images of her work I'm sharing below.  Check out her site for lots more.

Blue and White Monday: Art

These two new amazing Christina Baker paintings were photographed hanging on a wall in Christina's studio before they were delivered recently to Bennet Galleries .  How I'd love to visit Christina's studio to see where all the magic takes place!  I can see that it's bright, clean, minimal, and sophisticated. As her paintings are always spectacular, it follows that her work space has to be gorgeous and inspirational.   Nightlife   Half Past Two Star Dust Not blue and white, but I love this one, don't you? I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to share it.   Star Dust is another new painting available at Bennet Galleries. .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   . I'm thinking about art studios at the moment because my daughter (an artist) and I will be moving to a new house in the next few months, and will use one of the bedrooms as an office/studio. The granny-chic style...
