I never did make it back here on Friday as you can tell, it was a busy day at school and then we had friends over for cocktails in the evening. Saturday we went to my in-laws for the weekend to house sit and even though a mean migraine landed on my head for two days, I still had a nice time getting away.
I'm here now to show you the artist I discovered at the car wash last week. (My local car wash has the best little gift shop around).
I immediately fell in love with Masha's amazing art which I saw featured on a line of greeting cards. Her work is so whimsical and colorful that I could not stop staring at it.
When I got home, I wanted to learn more about her. She is very well established as an artist, so as the old NBC commercial goes, "if I haven't seen her, she's new to me." (Do you remember that marketing campaign for summer reruns?).
I am very drawn to images of girls on swings for obvious reasons, but I am clearly not the only fan of Masha's work. You can keep up with what's new on her blog. I love the pale grey background she chose because (of course) it makes her art jump off the screen.
I have put these two lovely gals on my desk to remind me of my playful spirit.
