I don’t know about you, but I find these figurative paintings by Tastes Orangey to be perfectly lovely. I just adore how they have been sewn onto their mat, such a creative touch, no? Today I relate to the girl at bottom burying her head in pillows. With the move two days away things are more than a bit hectic in these parts. I can’t wait to be in Hawaii (honeymoon bliss) and regain my sanity!
These (oil?) paintings are so sweet. Reminds me of Alex Katz a bit. His work makes me weak in the knees.
Very cute; thanks for sharing. And no stress- ALL GOOD THINGS ARE HAPPENING FOR YOU! x Emily
I love these! So intimate yet not embarassing. You will have so much fun in Hawaii!
Emily — Thank you! I love Alex Katz too! I am actually in the midst of sorting through everything from my old apartment (it’s been in storage for two years) and came across two books on Katz brimming with pictures of his paintings just this morning! So happy!
Dancing Branflake — Appreciate that you noticed their intimacy. Love that.
These are beautiful… they’re so suprisingly lifelike. In an odd sort of way!
Honeymoon bliss will be here before you know it!

I love these! I had some face in the pillow days recently as well… no fun. HOpe you have a wonderful time in hawaii!
They all have a wonderful calming effect to them, and YES, so true about the stitching.
These are mesmerizing. The sewn detail is a darling touch! I like “August Bath” as well. Thank you for upping my Etsy cred with all these lovely finds and now personal favorites!
I adore these!
That second one really captures a wonderful moment that could otherwise be hard to describe with words.
I agree, intimate, but casual.
These are so sweet and soft and strong!
Beautiful find!
I fear I look like the last girl every morning. I always say that my marriage has been saved by the fact that my husband and I wake up at different times!
ahhh!
i’ve been TOTALLY out of touch but am SO excited for you that the big day is almost here.
you are going to be THE. MOST. BEAUTIFUL. BRIDE.

that pixie cut? i. die.
all your details. love love love.
i hope you enjoy every. single. second. of the day!
(can you PLEASE send me your new address to my email?)

(and, i CANNOT believe what a good blogger you’ve been, just days before your WEDDING, when i’ve been SUCH a slacker. shame.)

(and address, please).
These are great – I love the vulnerability. Hang in there in these last few days they will be so worth it!! You’re creating so many memories to look back on the craziness of this time. Thinking of you Katie! xoxoxo
