SPRING IS IN THE AIR celebrate with some new art

Oh Rachel T. Robertson, why did you have to come into my life. It’s so hard to resist your pretty pretty paintings and collages. I can think of 10 places in the new apartment your creations would look terrific in. I have the perfect frame already picked out for all of your darling pieces. If you haven’t seen her work, I can’t imagine what you are waiting for. They are sure to at least inspire you on this monday morning, and bring some thoughts of spring along with it. I really wish I had the time to paint more and create something as beautiful as this.

MY NEW OBSESSION Michelle Maule

I love Michelle Maule. The end.

But seriously, what’s not to love about her crisp clean color choices, and feminine style? There is something so soothing about her composition and sensibility that it always puts me in a relaxed mood. I have a print of hers hanging in my bathroom because it always makes me start my day a little bit less stressed that I would otherwise. If you haven’t been by her etsy shop lately check her out, she’s constantly updating and releasing new prints and affordable original paintings. Keep an eye out for Michelle’s artist inspiration post here on upstatefancy when they return for their regularly scheduled monday slots in April!
