New Painting!

Bonjour All!
I have been so busy the past few months and havent had time to sit down and paint! Painting for me is so relaxing. Nothing beats sitting next to an open, breezy window while listening to relaxing Celtic music and only focusing on what I am drawing. Come visit my newest listing!

Special Guest Susi - Dreamy French Spaces!

Hi, I’m Susi, a writer for Design Shuffle, a community where interior designers, home enthusiasts, and other design professionals showcase their design projects, share inspirations, and network. One of my favorite things about my job is visiting fabulous blogs as a guest blogger. I'm excited to be here at Bonjour Frenchie today writing about dreamy French spaces. What is it about French style that is so romantic, elegant and chic? Here are eight dreamy French rooms that caught my eye. Curvy lines of furniture, sparkling chandeliers, and soft, sophisticated pastels with lots of gray and white are some of the gorgeous interior design ideas seen in these dreamy spaces. Hope you enjoy them!

Artist of the month, March 2011: LouisestArt

For the month of March, I chose an Artist whose work I admire very much. Louise van Terheijden is a talented Dutch artist with a very whimsical style, which is my ultimate favorite. Her work is inspiring and fun to look at. Here is a little interview with Louise;

What inspires you?

What inspires me most is people, their relationships, their dreams, desires, what makes them sad, happy,etc.
Nature has a big influence on my art, as well as Henri Matisse. His use of color inspires me!


What is your technique?
For example, in the series, "Violas." I studied trees and flowers and made collages of them and in the end they ended up in a digital piece of art (using programs such as Illustrator and Photoshop.)


How is your art different from other artists?
I can’t tell what is different in general from other artists, I like to think of my Art as unique in the Poetic way I express it.


Why do you do this particular kind of art (or use this particular technique)?
Being able to produce prints makes it possible to make affordable Art. People can enjoy my work at home.
I keep the editions limited so they are still unique.


You can find Louise's art work here & here!
