Today’s painting is inspired by a new book I just picked up by one of my all time favorite designers, Tricia Guild. It is called Pattern. If you’ve ever wondered where my sense of color, especially strong color, was initially inspired; First by the very talented Marty Sears, the first interior designer I worked for who also introduced me to this endlessly talented designer and author Tricia Guild owner of Designers Guild. Let me just say, I LOVE her new book!

Also, on an important note today Happy 1st day of Spring and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Holly!

*Edit* March 26, this one is available as a print at Etsy

Such a nice painting! I like the richness of the white background.

Thank you for the recommendation on this book. I think I will really benefit from it since my work can be design-y pattern-oriented. I drive right past the Borders on the way home. Oh I hope they have it!
