It’s called Vein of Truth. According to the info posted on the C&B site, the artist is Allison Wickey. I did a quick online search for Allison and discovered her website and fell in love (with her art and her talent). She lives in Florida on the Gulf of Mexico and is inspired by the coastal scenes around her.
Here’s a sampling of some of her other pieces:
Some day when I’m a big girl and have money to spend on original works of art by an established painter, I just might have to give her a ring. Right now The Mr. would laugh in my face if I even hinted at my desire to purchase a piece that costs over $1000. He thinks I’m a good painter and that I could recreate it on my own. Well, let’s just say I’m a novice painter. And I don’t have the talent to DIY art like this!
- Do you love the coastal influence in her paintings?
- Have you invested in a REAL work of art, or do you secretly desire to like I do?
- Do you think it’s worth shelling out over $1000 for an original piece?
- Would the designers on Million Dollar Decorators laugh at my lack of a fat wallet?
I've been crushing on Rebecca Cabassa's art. I first saw it on the Design Indulgence blog, and then that blogger was featured in BH&G a month or two ago. I think one piece is in the $2000+ range. For some reason I have a mental price range and wouldn't spend anything over $200. Especially since most of the art is abstract that I like and I can kind of paint myself. I did one that's over our fireplace now. I like the art you featured as well!

Love the blog and love all the ideas!
ReplyThose were some great paintings, but I think you could do something just as grand or better. From the short time I've known you (literally, less than a week), I think you're pretty darn crafty and talented in the DIY department. Get yourself a big canvas and get to work, girl..hehe! I can't wait to see what you make :)

I love finding new blogs to read. What beautiful artwork. I'm a new follower.
ReplyLove the artwork. I have a couple of pieces that I totally love. I doubt that they will have any real worth other than to me BUT my father-in-law bought Chagal's when he was a starving student and now I get to enjoy them everyday:)
