Style Imitating Art: Ali Ibn Hamzeh Shrine in Shiraz, Iran
Hi, how was your weekend? Ours was OK. We didn’t do too much. A bit of grocery shopping, that’s about it. It’s been rainy and cold here, so we didn’t really feel like going anywhere. I can’t wait for Spring to arrive. I don’t mind the rain, I do mind the cold AND the rain though. But, what are you gonna do, right?

Style Imitating Art: The End of Romance by Erte
Hi and welcome to another round of Style Imitating Art. Have you guys been experiencing the bizarre warm-cold-warm-cold weather like us? Honestly, there were a couple of days where I wanted to pack my bags and move to the actual equator. And a few where I was like ahhhh, Louisiana, this is why I love you. I need consistent temps.

Style Imitating Art: Bollinger Mill Covered Bridge
INSPIRATION ART WORK Bollinger Mill Covered Bridge by Daenel Vaughn-Tucker THE CURATOR This week’s inspiration piece was curated by me. I took this photo when we lived in Missouri.

I can’t wait to see! MY LOOK Can you…

Style Imitating Art Inspiration: Two Acrobats with a Dog by Pablo Picasso
Hi, this is just a short post to introduce next week’s Style Imitating Art inspiration piece. INSPIRATION ART WORK Two Acrobats with a Dog by Pablo Picasso {The image is from the WikiArts domain collection} This painting was chosen by Salazar because “…of the blue tones (even though it’s actually from Picasso’s Rose Period) and the dog (of course), and the harlequin pattern is also an interesting detail.” Hmmmm, this one is gonna be a tough one for me. I don’t think I own anything any of those shades… You can read more about the painting here. On a related note, this is the second Rose Period painting in the Style…
