Color Transition: From Summer to Fall




Recently i was asked by Abbey Jones from Julep to take part in a blog challenge - to  help you transition from your favorite summer brights into some beautiful fall shades. Inspired by flamboyant dahlias i bought on the farmers market where i live, i chose to turn a bright scarlet red of summer into a warmer, slightly darker cardinal red - that goes nicely not only with classic black, but with all other colors that might inspire your fall wardrobe - from golden yellows over berry purples, soft browns and greens to misty grey.


This fall asks women to go easy and let their hair down, which is fine for me. Oversized sweaters, loose pants, comfy shoes are all on the  radar of fashion. To glam it up a notch, try an oversized Diva pair of shades and some extra delightful lip and nail color. 

The red and purple outfit shown here are by one of my have designers, Paul Smith.


Especially on weekends, i enjoy pampering myself a little more and paint my nails. mostly i use a bright statement color for my toenails, and a light pink, natural mother of pearl shade for my hands.  What is your favorite color, when it comes to your nails? 



Since i was also asked, ti challenge one of my blogfriends, to be part in this theme, i tag the lovely Kizzy - have fun doll!

Happy week flowers! Just a little peek into what's happening in my studio at the moment:  a series of gold and blue chandelier paintings that capture the light and mood of a beautiful summers day - makes me smile! Have a gorgeous day!

A room full of color





Happy weekend lovelies!
How are you these days? Do you love September as much as i do? September is a month of change - from summer to fall, from outdoors to indoors, from sundresses to something more cozy. The clear. crisp sunshiny air seems so alive in the first one of these rooms here, the yellow one!  All of these rooms have elements of bold color and some beautiful art, which is vital to me to bring an interior alive. 
Have you planned anything nice this weekend?

Friday art: Colorful weekend!


"Colour helps to express light, not the physical phenomenon, but the only light that really exists, that in the artist's brain."
Henri Matisse,

Just a quick shot from my studio to wish you a colorful, fabulous weekend ahead.
The last days of July ... let's make the most of it. Any exiting (or restful) plans yet?

Friday Pretties: My paintings in new rooms





4 Colorful rooms
 by Toronto interior decorator Holly Dyment, virtually updated with some of my art. Her site is worth exploring, if you're on the hunt for some dashing ideas on how to ad color to your rooms.

. Have a look: in the first picture you see the painting i've posted some time ago, the yellow and black lady, now with the mysterious silver layer, added by my friend Andrea König. In the last picture you see one of the wild girls from beginning of this week. Ah, i had so much fun doing this! A few dashes of color so brighten my mood while winter spreads out it's beautiful but cold sheets everywhere!

Have some creative fun this weekend, and look at some more pretties here!
