Spring Weekend

 Hello my friends! 

March almost is over and in no time the sun will shine everywhere ... just like here in Florida. The pollen and allergies are affecting not only me but my dog, despite that we are still enjoying outside activities!  I love to see the new blooms and flowers coming every day... azalea, and dogwoods are blooming already. So today, while my husband played golf, I just decided have date with myself and go for walk with buddy ... even he is a four legs ... he never think he just a dog:) ..lol 

Below is a picture of him trying to catch bees .... and he knows how!  He is actually an expert catcher moles, squirrels, bees, and even turtles! ..... It is quite a challenge trying to domesticate a rescue dog!

Have a sweet weekend and wishing everyone a happy spring! Do you have something interesting planned for this time of the year? Any exciting plans for spring? or spring brake perhaps? xx,

March Madness

 Happy Monday lovelies! 

How is Monday treating you so far?  I had a brief but lovely beach day getaway - to just see the beautiful blue water was so calm and relaxing ... I decided to start my weekly post with these fresh pictures!  Though it is in blue hues it is still definitely summery and uplifting I think:) What do you think?

I decided to post this today - sun came out and all my blues were washed away....  I have my busy week ahead: a few commissions to finish, small illustrations to complete, get ready for my FL teacher's recertification renewal and most important prepare for my dear old ( not too old ... just from my high school years :)  friend come to visit me next week from New York ( it took her three years this time to finally visit Florida again - but it is better late then never :) 

I wish you a happy spring and many more great sunny days ahead!

xx,

Perfect Day To Stay at Home

 Hello my friends!  

Today and all this week actually a perfect gray and dreary day to stay at home and cozy up. I'm staying with computer all day and still in my PJ's since morning! I realized that now:) Normally in the mid afternoon I run errands, get things ready to mail and find my way back to the studio for more work. But today was one of those days where I just didn't feel like going. So, I didn't!  And what a luxury it was to work here all day, look outside to a gray and cold yard more fit for London than usually sunny Florida.  I let my dog roam around, sipped hot tea, listened to music, cranked out a few treasuries, answered my teammates comments, and just soaked up being lazy for a day!

I made this Treasury that I'm specially fond of.  It has a warm, magical, fresh spring sort of feeling...
the kind of feelings sifting through my mind all day. I wish everyone a lovely weekend and Be Inspired!
P.S. Posted on Saturday .... totally forgot yesterday:)  How is your weekend going so far? Cheers!

Choosing Artworks For Your Home

 The act of choosing artworks to put in your home is sometimes seen as an overwhelming job. Often we look at the need for something to put on our walls or ‘add’ to a room and find the task of selecting that something difficult due to the huge range of art available. But the job isn’t that hard, and shouldn’t be seen as a chore, but something of great enjoyment and an avenue for much reflection and appreciation.

By Claire Wind: When choosing art for your home, ask yourself these questions to get an idea of what you are looking for:

- What is the involvement of the artwork within a room?

Custom Artwork for a lovely customer from Los Angeles 

- Is the artwork there to enhance an environment, or is it the central piece of an interior, which will then be inspired by the artwork?

My watercolors  found new home in Australia 

- What is the purpose of having the art? Decoration? Inspiration? Political/Social Comment? Enhance a theme?
- Budget
- Where is it to be positioned? Consider the size and balance of the space.

Once you have considered these questions the process can be far less daunting.

 “Always, the art chosen should meet your needs and reflect your personality and lifestyle.” 

The easiest and most rewarding way to use art in a room is to buy the art you love! What is your experiences or motivation for buying artwork? Please share your stories in comments, I would love to hear from you! xx, Lana
