a new england artist

I wanted to share with you all an artist that I recently discovered and, thanks to my e-bay eagle eye, I've just won his painting (in the above photo). I googled 'Maine artists' and followed a few links that eventually led me to Cooper Dragonette. I found exactly what I was looking for; small & lovely New England landscapes, in the manner of Andrew Wyeth and Peter Poskas, painted by a local artist. Check out his blog here and drop him a note. One other thing that I like about him is that he blogs about his daily paintings, so each piece has it's own little story to tell. He's also responsive and appreciative when you send comments. This artist will be on my radar for a long time, and maybe he'll be on yours now as well ;).

Happy Thursday... the weekend is near;).

xoxo,

Blair

Happy Friday!

I know that we’re only in mid-February, but outside, it’s warm (for February in New England;)) and the sun is shining and inside, my paper white narcissus is in full bloom. It’s really beginning to feel like spring is right around the corner and I am loving every minute of it.

I hope that you all have an enjoyable weekend!

Le Pommier Sauvage

A few months ago I found myself drawn to the paintings of F. Fournier, while perusing etsy.com. To my delight, the pictured painting (The Wild Apple Tree) was wrapped under the Christmas tree from my Secret Santa. It’s just as beautiful in person as it is on the website. I hope to someday purchase more of his charming pieces, but in the meantime, I get to enjoy this lovely painting whenever I choose:). To see more of his work, go to http://www.etsy.com/shop/Fournierpainter.
