Debra Dawes Paintings







I am a little besotted with these paintings by one of Australia's leading abstract artists, Debra Dawes. I love the clean, geometric lines and of course the vibrant colours. I think they would look wonderful mixed with some more traditional still life pieces. I enjoy mixing artwork styles in a home. Collecting and displaying fabulous art is another area where we can express our own unique individual style.

Danse avec Moi!

I love this print by Sarah Jane Studios. I have been staring at it for awhile now. Trying to justify its purchase, you know, the wants vs. the needs. But, this print just makes me happy!

 Today on the 1st day of March the sun is shining, the sky is a robin's egg blue, there a few clouds floating by, the air is fresh and as I gazed out this morning, I thought of this print.

We dance a lot in our house, randomly breaking out into dance while cooking dinner, while listening to good music. It is like living in a good 80's movie. It is just happiness. Even on our first date, taking my hand in his, my husband waltzed me across the street under the moonlight.

So, tonight as we welcome in what feels like the beginning of Spring, even if it is just a teaser, I am going to ask him: "danse moi dans le printemps!" (dance me into spring) and laughing, I know he will oblige me, and taking my hand we will dance.
