case of charm

While the North is being assaulted with snow, it is starting to warm up in Georgia. We’re looking at 60 degree temperatures this weekend! I just love Caitlin McGauley’s watercolors, and really loved her post on The Lonny Blog today! I wore my chunky fisherman’s sweater yesterday… and have my Bean Boots on today! 

Stay warm xo

Watercolor by Caitlin McGauley. via The Lonny Blog

Ali’s brother (who I’ve yet to meet) just posted this on her Facebook wall. I thought it was so cool! It was done in watercolor, using over 2000 paintings to put together. A little better than my attempt! 

I do have some ideas milling about in my brain for future art projects :) 

Artsy

A couple of weeks ago we were wandering down Broad Street and ducked into the art store for an escape from the cold. We bought up some watercolor supplies and all decided to try our hand at it. Haven’t watercolored in… years. 

I found the image from a Kate Spade ad (below) and always thought it was cute so I tried my hand at painting it… also, can you spot what state the map is for? Mary said that the ad was symbolic for my life at that time… I kind of agree!

Here is my first “finished” product. It’s amazing that I study so much art and yet have no talent in producing my own! It was relaxing though… 

Watercolorist: Caitlin McGauley

If I wasn’t already craving a new purse, shoes, 2 jackets and a wallet. I would definitely be interested in purchasing a watercolor print from Caitlin McGauley. I stumbled upon her work on Tory Burch’s blog. There was a spotlight on CM where she illustrated her 10 favorite things about summer.

She’s so talented, and her taste is basically the long-lost twin of mine. If I could paint… I would paint the same exact things! Check out her site & blog!
