garden ladies

i noticed a little trend in the london illustrator world. two of my favorite young artists, emma block and clare owen, have done illustrations of pretty ladies tending to their window box gardens. i love seeing how different artists interpret the same theme.

i thought these were too gorgeous not to share, so here are both illustrations from emma and clare, respectively.

hello! maybe you've seen this around the blogosphere, but if not, here's an amazing website for the talented brooklyn florist, amy merrick.

amy's flower arrangements and styling are incredibly beautiful and gorgeous. she uses a variety of colors and incorporates a range of flowers, foliage, fruits and branches to decorate her tablescapes.

the website has been beautifully constructed with amazing photography; it makes you want to reach out and grab them off your screen!

take a look at the website here, and check out her wonderful blog as well!

janet hill

I stumbled upon these gorgeous oil paintings by Janet Hill today. Janet Hill is a full-time painter in her at-home studio in Ontario, Canada. I am in love with the colors textures and patterns, not to mention the subject matter. Her paintings illuminate the beauty in every day things; dressy shoes, delectable desserts, pretty dresses, outdoor picnics, bedrooms, and more. Best of all, she sells prints of her paintings on her Etsy for reasonable prices!
