This week I posted my artwork at my Etsy shop and Big Cartel shop.  

If you follow me on Instagram you will recognize paintings from there. I am sharing with those of you that don't have Instagram, some of the art I have been working on this month.

Art Studio KM



a r t   s t u d i o -  km






It's amazing what a little white paint can do...

I adore scandinavian design.  My grandma on my mom's side was full Norwegian, so I connect with this style. Making this room more modern and white makes me very happy.  When we moved in January it was my plan to paint this wall white. It has been pretty busy and we didn't get around to it until just last week.







This simple but amazing desk was inspired by a visit to an art university.  When I was thinking about art schools I came across this desk in the art teachers office.  She had an eames chair and amazing turkish rug.  I just loved this design and simplicity.  I tend to get paint everywhere so I kept it simple.



























In order to keep my desk modern and clean I used this ikea shelf to store all my paints and supplies.  Leaving just the essentials on my desk.  The older I get the more I really appreciate simplicity.









I just wanted to show this photo above to show my, never never never give up... which is just a reminder to myself when I get discouraged or don't feel like creating.








I have this magnetic board to visually show goals or love notes from my honey.  When I was out of town working for my old boss last week, Rob finished painting my wall and put things back and left me flowers and this "love" card at the top right.  It really was so sweet!








I hope you enjoyed looking at my little art studio. It's not some grand thing, but I feel so blessed to have a space where I can create.  It has been a dream of mine for years.

Last night we had to work for part of our job and I just didn't get around to sharing my art with you here.

Above, was last night at a my favorite restaurant.  But... it's not just a restaurant... You can find flowers, a kitchen + garden section and well it's pretty much the most inspiring place. If you are ever in Northern California visit S H E D.







i also, love to garden and i took a photo of this because i adore dark purple flowers, needed the name for later.







drawing turned into paining...
