My painting + Joy's Salon Wall

What a fun treat to check out Frock Files this week and find a beautiful salon-style gallery wall (and awesome tutorial) that included one of my paintings (top left).

What a striking room and wall - it all looks gorgeous! I love that most of the pieces that Joy hung have a special significance - pieces from friends from different walks of like, or collected on trips to favorite and sentimental places.  

For me, the art that we hang and collect is much the same way - it all has a story, and is tied to a place or memory.  I'll have to share an "art walk" around our apartment sometime to show you some of our favorite pieces and the stories that go with them. 

Do you have a gallery wall?  I've always wanted one, and have a random assortment of photos and small paintings that we haven't been able to find the perfect homes for.  They are currently living in boxes and waiting for frames... but I think that at some point, a gallery wall is in their future!

New art!

Lately, I've been embracing my creative side and getting back into painting.  The images above are some pieces that I've been working on recently.  One of my goals is to really get back into it, and start doing commissions and selling more of my work.  I'm excited to already have a commission for two paintings booked, and am thinking of opening an Etsy shop as well. 

One of my favorite things about our new apartment is that we have lots of space, even room for a little office (where I am currently happily typing away) and a space for my easel (by the windows with tons of natural light), two things which we've never quite had room for.  I'm thrilled to finally have enough room to be creative with feeling like I'm taking over our entire apartment.  Our future is looking colorful! 

Interested in a custom painting?  Send me an email and let me know, I'd love to work with you!

The lovely Joy of Frock Files!  

Do you know Joy or her blog?  If you don't, I highly recommend reading her thoughtful writing and visiting her gorgeous blog.  It's quite a treat! 

Thanks to everyone who entered to win my little piece of art!  Hopefully painting will become more a part of my daily routine and I'll have more of it featured here on my little nook of the internet.  

Anything you'd like to see here on the blog?  I'm trying to figure out what direction C Squared W will take here in America, and I always love hearing what you think!
