When I work on my novel for hours it begins to feel as though it is more real than real life. As though all that's around me feels like a fiction. That gets kinda weird. (schizophrenic weird?) I was in the rain, in Paris, and came to realizing I was in fact in Southern California and that the strange noise I was hearing was a humming bird dive-bombing next to my window. This is by the way an ugly-ass sentence, sure sign that I need a break.
When I need to come up for air I spend a few minutes in the world of blogs (also not real, I should be reminded.)
Via this amazing blog (can't ever pronounce it, can't spell it) I just discovered the art of Lulie Wallace, the artist who did the cover of this month's House of Fifty. I thought I should take a few minutes to share all this beauty and energy:
Oh Gaaad it's so beautiful! I have a weakness for flower paintings and these are just a small miracle. I want them ALL!
I love this sort of naive painting much more so than 'tight' realistic ones where you can tell what every flower is. You have good taste in your choice of art.

These are SO inspiring. I love to paint but I don't have a delicate touch. These are rough, naive but beautiful at the same time. It's the colours and you love turquoise and pink!

Very nice pictures. So colorful! I just wrote a post on my daughter's illustrations. I am trying to get her name out there. She is terrific. Take a look, she is absolutely amazing for her young 24 year old self :)

I have been coming to this class to learn the so called "Art of Painting". In my three months I have not seen any good work of mine. I can really feel this is not my thing. I hope my parents would allow me to take what I want.
