An amazing Etsy artist - the evocative nature photography of Nicholas Bell

I don't feature independent artists as much as I would like to.  But there's no time like the present, and I was fortunate enough to be introduced to the talented Nicholas Bell from Knoxville, TN.

His work really speaks to me because of it's sense of peace, isolation, and connectedness to our natural surroundings.  Check it out below:

I love the sense of quiet

These last two are my favorite - so beautiful


Pretty fantastic right?
Check out all of his work at his Etsy shop- Nicholas Bell Fine Art Photography.

Hapy Friday - Beautiful art for art's sake

Having majored in illustration from RISD, my first love has always been painting and drawing, and it'll always be close to my heart. So occasionally I like to feature painters and other artists that I discover and like. Here are my most recent finds

Beautiful collages by mixed media artist Kristen Neveu



This one is my favorite. Isn't it gorgeous?

These striking floral oil paintings are by Jo Beer. I discovered her while working on a design for a wedding invitation and needed a reference photo for ornamental kale. I ran across the painting below

Affordable photography for travelers and dreamers

Etsy is full of gems and I was so happy to be shown one the other day. These photos are from Saturnalia - and her work is evocative of carefree days enjoying the sun or wandering around a new city - free from time constraints. I hope you like them, and you can see more and read about her technique at the store, My Saturnalia

gorgeous

This photo of the chrysanthemum might just be my favorite

Prague - somewhere I definitely hope to get to this summer
