When I was contacted by Photowall, a Swedish company,  to review a product, I was so surprised and happy. If you’ve visited me before, you know I love beautiful wall art. I visited the website of this fine provider of art and fell in love with their products.  I’m quite familar with canvas prints and framed prints, but I had not realized how beautiful modern wallpaper and murals are.

Spring Watercolor Furry Friends Printables

Carol 13 Comments

March 19th is the first day of spring, and I am ready to welcome it with open arms. You know I love discovering beautiful free graphics and using them to create something slightly or greatly different. I found adorable graphic furry animals and added flowers and more flowers. Today’s prints are a collection of 4 furry friends: the fox, squirrel, bunny, and cat. They are pictured with lots of watercolor flowers for Easter and spring.  They are all  sized 12″ x 12″.  Add some chic, modern, and adorable decor to your home; I think they are perfect for many decor styles, especially the cottage and farmhouse look.

Winter Fox Printable

Carol 17 Comments

I love many kinds of animals, and the fox is one of my favorites. It’s not like I’ve ever lived around them, but all the movies and photos I’ve seen have made me very fond of the little red faces.  I happened to find art work by an artist in Slovakia who goes by the on-line name, Marty-arts. She shares some of her art online, and I do love her animals.  Today’s print is based on her art with modifications. (Her art is shared on a site with free downloads with a public do-as-you-please license.)  Today I’m sharing a winter fox print for the season of ice and snow. Read More

Autumn calls to us with the colored leaves and brushes of cold spells. Soon the trees will be bare and winter will come.  It doesn’t matter what season it is, we are surrounded by beauty no matter the time of year. Today’s print is for all the nature lovers and has a colorful image of a fox and flowers. I’m calling it my Autumn Nature print even though it’s beautiful enough for the whole year. Read More

Detroit Institute of Arts

Carol 25 Comments

The Detroit Institute of Arts, known affectionately as the DIA, is a world renowned art museum. Founded by prominent Detroit citizens in 1885, the museum opened on September 1, 1888 in a building on Jefferson Avenue. In 1927 the museum moved to its current location on Woodward Avenue, just north of Warren Street.  The Beaux-Arts building, designed by Paul Cret, was immediately referred to as the “temple of art.” Two wings were added in the 1960’s and 1970’s, and a major renovation and expansion that began in 1999 was completed in 2007.
