I love a good still life painting. Discovered last night via Rita Konig’s lovely NYT’s blog. Each composition is stunning and perfect. The artist Meredith Ramsbotham lives in London and is is notable for her still life pictures. Her painting reflect “the quiet English tradition of Gwen John and Winifred Nicholson“. Just lovely. Rita found her studio above one of my favorite designers shops, Robert Kime. Find out more on her website: meredithramsbotham.com.

Last winter, I planted about 12 different heirloom tomato seeds. The process was fun but I realized my side garden doesn’t have enough sunlight for a large vegetable garden. The front has full sun but the back is filtered. How about these gorgeous Double Rose Peony Poppies? I love them. What plants and seeds are you eyeing?
p.s. I ordered the peony seeds from here: rareseeds.com.

This morning I was looking up a few resources from Amanda Peet’s bedroom when I rediscovered April Gornik’s work. Above Peet’s bed is a black and white landscape print done by Gornik.
Landscape paintings are my newest obsession—poetic and soothing. Black and white prints of Gornik’s work really strike a cord. The lack of color pulls me in as I navigate the marks created by the wood cut print. Prints of Gornik’s work can be purchased through Pace Prints in New York. Larger paintings and works can be viewed on Gornik’s personal website: aprilgornik.com.
