Wall Space

i watched the goergia o'keeffe movie on lifetime this weekend and it lead me to revisit some of my favorite works of art. yes i know you're mocking me because i watched a lifetime movie but the only reason i even knew about it was because of project runway. plus i thought it looked good. lifetime used to make good movies. i remember watching several when i was younger. my mom still is a huge lifetime fan. but back to the art....


there are several o'keeffe's i'd love to own but here is one of my favs. now don't get all feminist on me and say it looks like a vagina. yes many have said that o'keeffe's imagery was very reminiscent of female anatomy but she denied purposely painting things that looked like female body parts. it's not her fault flowers look vajayjays.

i looooove jackson pollack. i own the movie pollack, i did a piece for a class in college in response to one of his paintings. to lots of people abstract are is weird and they "don't get it" but as long as i couldn't make it myself i love it.

I love this ansel adams because it just captures so well that great first snow feeling. growing up in the midwest i fully appreciate untouched snow. it's kind of a cliche choice but i still love it

who doesn't love van gogh? starry night is to obvious a choice so i chose mulberry tree. equally as awesome. and actually when i went to musee d'orsay i saw starry night and in person it's darker and to me less magical. mulberry tree is in the kurosawa movie dreams. we had to watch it in college and it's actually really cool. netflix it.







these are some miscellaneous prints that are in our casa currently. one is a kandinsky and the others are vintage ads which i really love. i got the cat one in france. good thing patrick doesn't care that our house is very girly.














i love having art in the home. i have lots of things i still don't have hung up yet but it'll get there. we had lots of art on the walls at our house. my aunt is a painter so we have lots of her stuff. it's actually really really good not like we are related to her so we have it kind of art. i would love to have the talent for painting but i'm hopeless. my drawings are about on a 2nd grade level. plus you're only famous post mortem so that's no fun.

it's kind of funny how your taste changes as you get older. i'm sure a lot of girls go through a monet phase (myself included) but it's really not my thing anymore. i do have some monet prints and being a dancer i have various items with monet prints on them ( jewelry box, dance bag, etc). really though that phase ended when i got to go to giverny to monet's house. it was one of the most beautiful places i've ever been and after seeing the real water lily pond nothing compares.

song lyrics of the day:
The painter stood before her work
She looked around everywhere
She saw the pictures and she painted them
