"Painting has always been a part of my life. There was never a start or a beginning; it has just always been there." Read more...

"I cannot thank you enough, I love it more than words can say. This beautiful painting transports me back to my wedding day, when I held those fragrant flowers in my hand before walking down the aisle. More than a simple photo ever could, this painting will forever capture that precious moment for me. In your painting, I swear the bouquet is even more beautiful than I remember."
- Amanda from Bear, Delaware.

"It's gorgeous! You are an amazing artist. Ordering the painting from Sweden was supereasy and though I've only seen it through the detailed photos you sent me, I'm in love! I look at the photos at least twice a day and I can't wait for it to arrive so I can hang it on my wall and look at it all day long!
- Mirja from Stockholm, Sweden.

"We are both absolutely blown away every time we look at the painting. It looks exactly like her bouquet. The use of the gray/blue background really makes all the colors of the flowers pop. They are so crisp. You really nailed it and we are so happy we will have this to display in our home for years and years!"
- Scott from Denver, Colorado.

I’ll take the manor house please!

DateThursday, February 2, 2012

You probably already know that I’m a big fan of Downton Abbey and all those other British period shows. I watch them all the time, and then over and over again. I recently discovered an interesting show thanks to Tom and Lorenzo and watched it while wrapping up my latest painting (stay tuned for photos next week!).

Manor House apparently aired in 2006 but I would have completely missed it if it hadn’t been for a recent Facebook post by Tom and Lorenzo. Though this is not a romanticized British drama… It’s a gripping reality series where nineteen volunteers from the modern world find that life of a grand country house in the early 20th century is plagued by all-too familiar themes: money, power and position.

The 6-part series presented by PBS, takes a family of 5 and a staff of 14 strangers and puts them into a real authentic Edwardian and you basically watches how it all plays out during 3 months. What would you do if you suddenly had to follow a rule book, couldn’t speak your mind, or wash more than once a week? If you were the head of the household and living in luxury, would it go to your head?

Watch the show on YouTube.

xo,
Erica
