Simple Pleasures

The wonderful and comforting aroma of something delicious simmering on the stove — especially at the end of a long and busy day.

An Italian Studio

I've got loads of colour and pattern for you today! This is the house and studio of a ceramic artist in Brescia, Italy. I love how his work is such an organic part of his environment — you can see that art is something he lives and breathes every day. More photos here, too. Via OWI.

Atelier: Alison Watt

The always wonderful {this is glamorous} recently had a wonderful post on Scottish artist Alison Watt, and I was completely taken with Alison's beautiful and delicately rendered large scale work. See the post here for more of her lovely paintings — and more about her, too.
