THE WATERCOLOR GIRLS OF ETSY


I profiled artist Vivienne Strauss back in August. I'm a huge fan! Her watercolor above happens to be inspired by my godfather George. Viv so aptly titled it, "An extraordinary moment in George's extraordinary life." Of course, I bought the original painting the moment I saw it, but Viv also sells limited edition prints of original watercolors on her Etsy site {vivstrauss}. Viv also does commission work and her site is full of prints, original paintings, and more—just in time for the giving season!


Meet artist, Anne Harwell {annechovie} who's painted some well-known work for Style Court {like Courtney's Favorite Things, shown above}. Anne sells boxed note cards, prints of her famous chairs, and a lot more. Contact Anne for a painting of your favorite things!


Meet Jane Mount {janemount}! Jane sells limited edition prints of her Bookshelf pieces, and will also take commissions to paint yours or a friend's bookshelf. I just LOVE these small intricate paintings and just ordered one.


And finally, meet artist Patricia van Essche. Her new brand new Etsy shop consists of hand-made items, original art, printed note cards, and more. {pve design} welcomes private artwork commissions, too. I love this "Beach Girl Blue" Notebook—a great stocking stuffer or gift for teachers.
