have a bright bold and beautiful one!

VMFA ~ Picasso: Masterpieces from the Musee National Picasso, Paris

Now is the time to visit the newly renovated Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, Virginia. I was so happy to hear that in February 2011, The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts will host the most important exhibition in its history, Picasso: Masterpieces from the Musée National Picasso, Paris. VMFA is the only East Coast venue for the exhibition’s seven-city international tour. The exhibition, which will be on view from February 19 through May 15, 2011, is co-organized by the Musée National Picasso, Paris and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

Interesting fact: It is rumored that Picasso’s first spoken word was, "piz," short for lápiz, the Spanish word for pencil. The first clue that this baby would grow up
to be an artist!

Watercolor Demo {a one minute break}

Do you need a break? Grab a seat and watch this hilarious 1 minute video of my daughter in the foreground while I am working on a painting in the studio. She does this frequently, so I had no idea that this time she was taping it. (that's obvious... if I knew, I would have tried to look a little better :)
See.... I told you it was hilarious!

Bright Ideas: Fireplace Mantels

Your mantel and fireplace are usually the key focal points in your living room and you want them to make a statement. These fireplace mantels add character to your wall and raise your eye level up. Place a large mirror on the mantel to create even more depth to your room. Voila!
Fireplace mantels
Either a fireplace surround or shelf will make a dramatic change to the look of your room. The warm tones in the wood also give an inviting and comfortable feel.

Do you need a large piece of art to display over your mantel?
such as my large giclee on canvas: "Caribbean Time".

Beautiful Sponsor: Once Upon a Paper

I am loving these adorable love birds by Once Upon a Paper. Elena's shop is filled with bright and colorful tree and love bird prints.
She loves trees and states, "So dedicating a few sheets of paper to the image and spirit of trees is just my way of giving back to our woods. I use part of my profits from this shop to plant trees in my old garden. We should all do so. "
Would you like to be a sponsor of Bright, Bold, and Beautiful?
