I'm in love!

A couple of weeks ago I picked up my Tiny Little Houses from the Northfield Arts Guild. Before I departed I stopped into their Main Gallery and feel in love immediately with drawings completed in graphite by a local Northfield artist. 

Inner World by Mary Rose Gondeck

I was drawn to the so very intricate detail and beautiful organic forms, all in subtle and varying shades of warm grey. In some ways they reminded me of my own detailed oil paintings - full of creatures and stories waiting to be heard. They were indeed a world of their own. One I would absolutely love to visit and explore, wondering and wandering my way through....  I can almost imagine stepping into it all, but will need to instead be content with exploring these two-dimensional creations with my eyes only.

Stools for the foot or other

I plan on working with the existing paint color and character of the legs.
The other day my dear artist friend, Patty, and I went to Northfield for a much-needed day of art exploration. As we waited for Swag (one of our destinations) to open, we wandered into various shops along the main street of downtown.

It didn't take long before I had found and purchased 2 adorable little footstools from one of the antique shops. Filled with such character and possibility! I just couldn't resist!

I haven't taken the time to see which of my Organic Digital Designs will suit each of these, but I have no worry. As all things do, it will fall into place in its own time and place..... As always, stay tuned!
I love these legs! and really don't mind the covering either....

and look at this shape! perfectly heart-like, don't you think?
