Around the House this Morning

Around the house this morning
After being away for more than two months, I am planning my return to work.
There are several paintings and drawings waiting to be finished.
I hope to have some new paintings available in my Etsy shop soon.

The Amazing Jane Spiro

 
I have been following the blog Absolutely Beautiful Things since the begining and Anna Spiro is one of my favourite interior designers.
It was delightful to see how her style evolve through the years and how she grew as an interior designer. Now she is one of my favourite and I feel influenced and inspired by her. But this post isn't about her or her work, it is about Jane Spiro.
 Anna wrote several times about the love and admiration she feels for her mother, her style, how she loves blue and white and said, time and again, how she inspires her in her work but  reality is beyond my imagination.
  I was lucky to discover Jane trought Anna Spiro's Instagram and I am fascinated about her since then.
 I love her mouth-watering recipes,
   
 The pictures she takes around her house of fresh fruit, beautiful flowers arrangements and  blue and white ginger jars makes me want to pick up my brushes and start painting.

More than a charming lady with an incredible good taste Jane Spiro is an artist.
I don't know if she is going to read this one day but I hope she doesn't mind that a stranger who lives in the other side of the world has dared to wrote a post about her.
 
  Jane Spiro, you are amazing and I love to see the world throught your eyes!
Thank you so much for sharing

Loving
