Studio Friday: Look Who I Found!
This sure is a fortuitous coincidence. I'm thinking about going to bed, but before I do, I'm checking out Artella's daily LinkLatte (an email they send you everyday) and it led me to this blog by a gal named tine, and it has a challenge every Friday. So it's Friday and I just so happen to have found a cool new-to-me gallery today and so I have also found a really cool couple of artists whose work I really like. And is it a coincidence or what but the challenge for this Friday is to write about a new artist you've found whose work you like or admire or who inspires you in some way.
So the gallery is The William Lester Gallery in Point Reyes Station, California, about 30 minutes north of SF. I really like all of his artists' work, but there are two whom I particularly like.

Firstly, what drew me there was a Google search for images with fields of lavender and I came across Kathleen Elsey. Wow. Her use of color in an impressionistic manner just blew me away. I love her vision and the sense of liveliness and motion in her paintings. Way cool balance of color too. It makes me want to dye some wool and card a special color blend for a big sweater!

So there is some reason to all this blog-surfing after all. You just might find your next source of inspiration. OK, but I swear that that's my story from now on!
Happy weekend, my lovelies!
