scent of a woman

The smell of spring wafting through my studio window has been intoxicating. I get this way every spring, inhaling and admiring the renewing earth as if I were experiencing it for the first time. The lilac tree, the lily of the valleys, the daffodils. Heaven.

So, why "The Figure Five in Gold" (1928) by Charles Demuth, you ask? Well, this juxtaposition is personal. My Granny's favorite perfume was Chanel no.5 and the only perfume she would wear. She had a beautiful and well-kept little garden where, among other flowers, lily of the valleys and lilacs flourished under her care. And now I'm lucky enough to have these two favorites in my backyard. She passed away 11 years ago and to this day, I cannot walk through my spring garden without thinking I detect just a hint of Chanel no.5.

love is in the (ch)air

Marcel Breuer apparently loved the artist Wassily Kandinsky
so much he named this chair after him, "Wassily."

And speaking of love, this is dedicated to one of my best pals, David, who has finally found his true love. Congratulations on your engagement to Avi!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHARIE!

Happy Birthday, Sharie! Thanks for being the most brilliant assistant!
The sale of this painting will go towards your well-deserved vacation.
In honor of the fact that you can multi-task like nobody's business, I've combined several of my past themes into today's painting. So today, relax, enjoy a good book, (even if it's a homeschooling book you've been wanting to catch up on), enjoy the spring flowers, (I'm sure somebody will give you flowers today), enjoy the sunshine (it's sunny somewhere in the world), enjoy a sip (OK, maybe save that for later), ignore the kids, (but don't ignore this post...get a paypal button on this painting!) Have a fantastic multi-tasking birthday! You're the best!
OX, Kimberly

Kimberly!! What a sweet surprise to wake up to! With a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes...Thank you!! hugs, Sharie

lucky

So, who is lucky, anyway?

Me.

Thanks to you, my supportive fans, I'm able maintain this little obsession. And, I really could not do it without you. I just want you to know how incredibly grateful I am. From the collectors who have just one special painting, to those of you who have 10 plus(!), to the admirers who write encouraging emails or simply leave comments, thank you, thank you.

To give chair lovers everywhere a better chance to buy their favorites, we're going to revisit the eBay auction house, so dust off your Joie De Vivre bidding paddles (again!), starting tomorrow.

I know not everyone is comfortable with the bidding process, but if anyone out there has ever thought about it, but didn't know how to get started, just email and my lovely assistant, Sharie, will be happy to give you a little tutorial.

sweet melissa

Does anyone else have good memories of this iconic kitchen stool?

This is dedicated to my good buddy, Melissa. We shared a historic mansion while we were in college (okay, so it was just the first floor, but still!), and the kitchen was where we met up at the end of the day. We often say, "Oh, if this chair could talk!" (and if it does, we'll kill it!)
