Signe and Genna Grushovenko

I was introduced to the collaborative paintings between husband and wife, Signe and Genna Grushovenko thanks to a reader tip from Robin K. (thank you, kindly!) Genna creates an underpainting with washes of paint and mineral spirits over which Signe paints her compositions. Signe uses vintage family and found photographs for her subjects while using a color block-style effect that simplifies these richly layered pieces into modern treasures. Read all about them and find the works I've posted here at this site-www.galleryair.com/signe.htm xo

Penguin and Fish

Etsy and blogland happily make the world a smaller and friendlier place for like-minded artists and craftspeople. This morning I got an email from Alyssa at Penguin and Fish informing me that she kindly posted about my new sculptures today, while just yesterday I began compiling photos of her fetching handmade creatures to post about here! (This isn't the first time this kind of alchemy has occurred either!) I'm so happy to find her wonderful blog too. Thanks so much, Alyssa...and right back atcha! xox

Harry Underwood

I saw this still life on Poppytalk and my heart began racing.

That painting of a woman playing the accordion...reads 'Sing to me softly'. I had to find out who was responsible! The artist is Harry Underwood-thank you to Marusica for sharing her awesome home and art...see here for more of her Nashville home.
