Favorite Shops

Here are shots of Erika's gorgeous shops in Wiscasset, Maine. She has a perfect sense of design in everything she does. She is also a wonderful artist. The first three pictures are of Rock, Paper, Scissors. The rest are from her other shop Smitten. That's Abby in the last picture. Everyone needs to visit just to be refreshed and recharged. Thank you Erika for letting me share your shops on my blog.

Favorite Painter

This is the work of Sabala, a Frech painter I have long admired. I have not been able to get any information on her when I Google her. Suzanne bought a book of her paintings a few years ago in France, but neither of us can find out more. These paintings were done in the 80's. Does anyone know more about this painter?

Drawing

I almost always carry my sketchbook with me. It is the place where I can draw without any judgment. Take a look here for an artist who enjoys exploration. Also look here for an amazing Flickr set of Japanese craft books.
