All about Pinterest

When I first came across <a href="http://pinterest.com/driftwoodi/">Pinterest</a>, to say I was underwhelmed was a bit of an understatement. It seemed like yet another thing to add to the must-have-if-you're-serious-about-your-online-presence....and all too much like hard work. But then, I spent a bit of time navigating through and found that, regardless of what it was originally designed for, it's an absolutely brilliant way of collating and storing all of those inspiration pics - and even better, it links to where they were found. In other words, it's amazing. So now I'm hooked, and there's so much fabulousness on there, I can't begin to tell you. So I'll just show you. Much better that way.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZs3u8tJ0ykOucXSG4vJKQYgREes8zDa2IaUShwdQD-b2T60gnCxBN1pV38ZqvV0JI4JnXXF8CafS5hMEFDC6ZnBbhOSEEJIoGmRffJQ8E0m5RAXgnloEUWzxmwzybcFvem4Pd6GjX6t9N/s1600/Round+Hill-08-Oceanfront+room+downstairs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZs3u8tJ0ykOucXSG4vJKQYgREes8zDa2IaUShwdQD-b2T60gnCxBN1pV38ZqvV0JI4JnXXF8CafS5hMEFDC6ZnBbhOSEEJIoGmRffJQ8E0m5RAXgnloEUWzxmwzybcFvem4Pd6GjX6t9N/s640/Round+Hill-08-Oceanfront+room+downstairs.jpg" width="626" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0JUrpmNhubaA9qFwAFtlHxg_JpwscEnIQFW0EZnm_8uluMhvjPw2-JH3gktdUMfxt2b35WOvN7O3GegumCm4YgE6j7OfONlh7Z_rWafn70qOuKCmd2xzzqh5ptSK_p37zQ2Pg9xgOTLdR/s1600/Image11stuartmembery.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0JUrpmNhubaA9qFwAFtlHxg_JpwscEnIQFW0EZnm_8uluMhvjPw2-JH3gktdUMfxt2b35WOvN7O3GegumCm4YgE6j7OfONlh7Z_rWafn70qOuKCmd2xzzqh5ptSK_p37zQ2Pg9xgOTLdR/s640/Image11stuartmembery.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUlja10gCWhJxhHd9Mcws_Qf9ZYcvcOd5uTZfLZx4yhKpT7x8HIObiQxr8xhx2Sxbhhrx6bDi9YyDg0cH1xopsBMnJ_GYQ0FkaIs2BSEOIQtC6u1omuBclCyoIkGniZLaG9Lfq1BJ6BUr3/s1600/carolyne+roehm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUlja10gCWhJxhHd9Mcws_Qf9ZYcvcOd5uTZfLZx4yhKpT7x8HIObiQxr8xhx2Sxbhhrx6bDi9YyDg0cH1xopsBMnJ_GYQ0FkaIs2BSEOIQtC6u1omuBclCyoIkGniZLaG9Lfq1BJ6BUr3/s1600/carolyne+roehm.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/213569207298819101_lmWAdvBb_c.jpg">via</a></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/147352219027640007_9wJ8yOGd_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/147352219027640007_9wJ8yOGd_c.jpg" width="470" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/237424211574950232_8ccVy5L7_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/237424211574950232_8ccVy5L7_c.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/86764730290624209_185ydYKu_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/86764730290624209_185ydYKu_c.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">Just a few from my boards</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">But don't take my word for it.

Chinoiserie in Ming....and more

It's been so nice to finally get back into the studio over the weekend, and I definitely made the most of it. I've got some new blue and white paintings on the go, and yesterday I finished the first of them. I was commissioned to paint an antique chinoiserie plate to add my my client's collection, and here it is:<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxjc5cdcwcTt-MqmUWY_lyID1r1RNZ_ecZYjMStFvwcnEHC2vtNv77cIJh_WY4vZIOXtws3kFog-mLGn8n8rpmBSUAKClnbvDoC8Oqpzb3lJAjScrXORUBhrT_6bogFfMy-sD9A3ypKsA/s1600/fuze+chinoiserie+in+minh.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxjc5cdcwcTt-MqmUWY_lyID1r1RNZ_ecZYjMStFvwcnEHC2vtNv77cIJh_WY4vZIOXtws3kFog-mLGn8n8rpmBSUAKClnbvDoC8Oqpzb3lJAjScrXORUBhrT_6bogFfMy-sD9A3ypKsA/s1600/fuze+chinoiserie+in+minh.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"> 'Chinoiserie in Ming'</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">watercolour and pencil on paper</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">210mm x 297mm (8.3" x 11.7")</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">original sold, prints for sale now on <span id="goog_985564055"></span>Etsy<span id="goog_985564056"></span></span></div><br /><br />I've often been asked whether my Chinoiserie series would ever be available in other colourways.

In the Pink

I don't know about you, but it seems <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">pink</span> is <i>everywhere</i> at the moment. It's Pantone's colour of the year, House Beautiful has just devoted a whole issue to it, and I couldn't be happier. I love it in all it's forms, but personally, I like it best when it's paired with a strong, complementary colour to add depth and contrast. For many years, my most popular paintings were huge works on canvas, full of peonies, roses and lillies, and pink was often the feature colour. Whether it is the faintest shade of blush, or a full-blown magenta, I think there's a pink for everyone. My youngest daughter's bedroom was, until fairly recently, painted a vibrant, shocking pink, paired with bedlinen in bright aqua. I absolutely loved it, and although it's now all white, I still manage to sneak a few hits of pink in now and then. Looking through these, I doubt I'll have any trouble coming up with new ideas for my <a href="http://driftwood-interiors.blogspot.com/2011/02/pretty-in-pink-this-valentines-day.html">Interior Portraits</a> series any time soon. And the best part - I get to 'decorate' a new room whenever I like, even if it's just with the stroke of a paintbrush. Oh, and it's a lot quicker, with next to no mess (oh, ok, quite a bit of mess actually, but you know what I mean).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJtBpuCrtlUHDdYzvpNGmqoy9GfQmqd0_eFF79q0i7Ccs2hDaSwdPbqOR9UvAHDitAHXrPhEZYD0_mA8jzRs0yeny1ygI92I7ub7bZpJgGPrCSWzeUsm0XqoFekRPcvYCnNFJwoWllkFE/s1600/design-happens_bpf-color-jonathan-berger-pink-living-room405x518.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
