Over here I'm cleaning, reorganizing. I'm still in my PJs. It is a beautiful lazy, sunny Sunday afternoon. I have the classical channel playing in the background, my coffee is almost gone, and I'm moving around art in my studio and tidying up little things that I always seem to put to the side. It seems like a perfect day to do a post on art. :)
It was over this past week when our living room got a jolt of "new" (by reusing old) that I started to start envisioning art once again for our home. I recently talked about my love of Sarah Merry, and there are a number of other artists in our "wish list" of whom we would like to add. So here are 2 more Canadian Artists that I wanted to write about.
DAVID GRIEVE
Canadian
David Grieve is an artist that both Aubrey and I would love to add to our home. His work hangs in our family's home, and I am often captivated by his work. His work reminds me of Van Gogh - impressionist in style. When you see his work in person, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't do what I do - getting up close to the canvas, admiring the thick layers of paint. His paintings also are extremely close to my heart as they remind me of Canadian landscapes - the beautiful changing trees that I adore so much at our cottage just outside of Toronto.
Both of the paintings I've shown are showcased on The State of the Art Gallery website (here) but David has his own website that I recommend visiting to see if there are gallery's in your area that have his work.
Kate Schutz
Canadian
A newer artist I found is Kate Schutz, a Calgary artist whose work is absolutely fantastic. (website Here) I adore the above photo with the cake. It reminds me of a vintage photo you'd see in someones photo album. Don't you wonder who the cake is for?

Anyhow, back to cleaning. But....I have 2 other artists that I want to show you, but I'll save that for another Sunday afternoon read. :)
