Blue Cardigan and New Artwork by Christy Spaulding Boyer

First I want to show off a new acquisition. This is a portrait of my boys done by Christy Spaulding Boyer. She's one of my very favorite artists, and I hope you click on her name and see more of her gorgeous artwork. I don't throw the word around a lot, but there is something spiritual, an abundance of vision, and of joy, and of a perfect stillness in the middle of spiraling, teeming, shimmering life in her work.

And now here is my boring, by comparison, blue sweater that is still needful of buttons.

Typewriter Painting

This typewriter painting is by artist Christy Boyer. I got it for my husband for Christmas and had originally intended to let him hang it in his writing room. We both love this painting so much, though, we decided to hang it in the bedroom. This photo really does not do it justice. The colors are so rich and just right, with that industrial, archaic kind of office green and really great aged ocher. I am sooooo very pleased with this piece. See her other kinds of work here.
I especially think this tea ornament is cute


But do not miss some more of her paintings proper!

This one is Joan Marries Fire from the Joan of Arc series. I love the colors of her garment.

This one is called 1945. Look at the floral pattern! It's gorgeous, and she researches period textiles to get the inspiration for these prints, and the work is well worth it.
