So, being a public holiday, I will not have any more news today about the house, or “The Cottage” as I have come to think of her, but that shall not stop me from worrying, hoping & planning the entire interior decor.
One thing I would really like to have in my little home, when we can finally “bang a nail in” wherever & whenever we like, is an abundance of beautiful art. I am drawn to illustrations & drawings mostly, maybe because that is what I do…? I don’t know, but I feel a deeper, quicker connection to drawings that I like than I do with paintings that I like, or even photographs, so I’ve been looking for lovely drawings lately that I can frame & admire.
I already have one lovely print ready to go – I am yet to find the right frame, but how I love this picture! I was lucky enough to win it, but I’ve only gone & forgotten where… it’s from here.
Isn’t he great? “Murray the Moose”. Brilliant.
I was thinking maybe some more bicycle themed art to go with him….? What do you think of this lot….?
“Stork Legs on a Penny Farthing”
“The Trick Rider” – not a drawing obviously, but pretty damn cool me thinks!
“Life is like riding a bicycle”
I actually have the remains of a bike veeeeeeeeery similar to that last one in the back yard at the moment – I fell in love when I saw it – shiny red with cool handles & white wall tires… too bad it was incredibly impractical to ride (make that ‘impossible’). I stole the seat for my current ride & plan on making one of the tires into a massive clock…
nice bike art, LOVE the trick rider. Plan away, so many possibilities!
ReplyDeleteGiant tyre clock sounds fabulous :D
It does SOUND good Zof... but is it practical?! ;) We will surely find out. In the meantime, if you see giant clock inards anywhere for sale, do let me know!

I printed mine on my Epson printer using Matt photo paper and the result is extraordiary - even Mark likes them - yikes.
