This and That

Color and I have this push and pull relationship. In my own art, color, she wins. If you haven't noticed pink appears more often than not in my paintings and somehow I always manage to sneak in a few streaks of teal. But in my home I like white. My mother likes to remind me how my house could be mistaken for a hospital waiting room. Too white, too sterile. That's why today I am highlighting a few pieces in my home (albeit small) that are quite vibrant. Too prove her wrong of course.

-The first I snatched up in San Diego, because who doesn't want a mini pink skull. I move it around constantly as I can't seem to find it a proper resting place. It clashes with my blue, white and gray living room but seems hidden in my studio. I'll figure it out I suppose, it is one of my favorite trinkets after all.

-How adorable is this chicken!? Purchased from Santa Barbara local artist, Peggy Buchanan, during an afternoon art walk stroll when Erik and I still called SB home. Supporting the arts is obviously quite dear to me, but I find supporting local arts even more imperative. Now for my preachy moment...attend your local art fairs and shows! There's so many talented people out there and in these cases the art is quite affordable. I mean this little chick was $20! What-a-steal.

Happy Wednesday!
