The Day Dream
Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 1880
I want to sit in this green, leafy copse with a book and while away an afternoon.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, 1892/1895
I just love the lady on the right with her fashionable black hat, puff sleeves, and high collar. I'd love to be her for an hour.

Le Bouquet Ardent
Marc Chagall, 1972
There is something about Chagall's whimsy and use of color that speaks to me.

Vincent Van Gogh, 1888
You know that question, "If you could transport yourself into any painting, what painting would you choose?" I would choose this one.
Artist Kevin Baker
I was reading Interview Magazine and there was a small article on Kevin Baker, an up and coming artist from Kentucky who is now working in NYC. I think his paintings are amazing. He is inspired by the kitschy oilcloths that his grandmother used to cover everything with because they were easy to clean. He uses floral oilcloths as his canvas and then paints over them. I think these are beautiful, romantic, whimsical, and heady. I LOVE.
