friday favorites

it's time for friday favorites! a weekly post in which we showcase a favorite etsy pick. what a great way to end the week and get the daydreaming started for the weekend!

i am in love with michele maul's paintings.
this one in particular i find haunting and eerie, but strangely beautiful.

i love her use of collage overlaid with heavy, dark lines. so much of what i try to do in my work is wonderfully achieved here. a sense of place, a feeling of solitude and a hint at something not quite realized or understood.
perfection.

many of her other beautiful paintings are quite whimsical and full of color, but it the ones like these that keep me longingly gazing in her shop.
