Still Life with Urn by Caitlin McGauley

Busy as Bees around here at Katie Denham Interiors! But I had to take a moment and wish you all a lovely Valentine's Day. And what better way than to share a little bit of prettiness, some flowers, and maybe a few watercolor interior design renderings, just to keep things on point!

I had a email cross my screen the other day and it was from another Katie....so I had to open and read, of course! It was a lovely introduction to Tiger Flower Studio. Perhaps you have heard of it. It has been noted in Architectural Digest and House Beautiful recently. Tiger Flower Studio is collecting limited edition prints of some artists I have become familiar with over the last few years.

The artists are the kind that give one a little "pick-me-up". The colors are bright, the themes fun and pretty, and "whimsical" is a word that seems to fit with most. The artists also seem to have something else in common....they have worked with some of the biggest names in the Fashion and Design community.

Caitlin McGualey is best known for her watercolors and she can name Kate Spade New York, Tory Burch, Ralph Lauren, Hermes, Domino Magazine and Tiffany & Co.

I thought a big bright bouquet from Caitlin might get you in the Valentine spirit!

Here are a few more from Caitlin showing her interiors and fashion illustrations.......

Harrison Howard is an artist I grew to know a number of years ago having "met" him via the blogosphere through another artist friend. I had the happy honor of writing a blog post about him and was very happy to see him represented in the Tiger Flower Studio! Harrison charmed me with his humorous illustrations of chinoiseries and scenics. He has had a number of recognizable names in his client list including Vanderbilt, DuPont, Firestone, Goodyear. Perhaps you will be charmed like me....
