The painting was purchased at an estate sale. It’s not signed. I asked, but the people running the sale didn’t have any information on it. The lack of provenance made it affordable. Growing up in an artist’s house must have been really special. I feel a deeper connection to the paintings where I’ve had some interaction with the artist.That horse painting is stunning! Who is the artist, if you don't mind my asking? (full disclosure: my dad is an artist, so I also grew up steeped in art) And I totally understand. I wouldn't leave my bags out unattended either, but in a battle between art and bag, I think I'd have to go art.
Wearing my new-to-me tote (Garda chain tote??) for the first time today [emoji4]
You look so put together! And that tote, whatever the name is, is truly fabulous! What a great find!
Growing up with a parent as an artist has its challenges, but you grow to appreciate it more as you get older. I have sculptures and paintings in my house that I would otherwise never be able to afford. He also would trade his artwork for other artists' artwork and gift those pieces to me.
I do wish you knew the artist though. The horse is amazing, and that is some kind of luck to find it at an estate sale.
It was great luck. I walked past a huge collection of ceramic roosters from their kitchen.Growing up with a parent as an artist has its challenges, but you grow to appreciate it more as you get older.

Today requires a tote. Quetsche Nodini cabat.
The painting is by a Canadian artist. People always ask me if I know who this is. ( I don’t). Her paintings reflect a well-traveled life. This may be someone she saw on a trip, but I really don’t know.

I keep coming back to your photo. I really like the way you’re able to combine patterns and prints.....
@diane278, your kind comment made me smile. Thank you! Sometimes I question my choices when mixing prints and patterns.
Coincidentally, today I was trying on different combinations of dresses-shoes-handbags for my niece’s
upcoming rehearsal dinner. I’ve settled on this outfit with my tourmaline/lizard shoulder bag:
A dressed-down combination that I must remember for another occasion:
Not really carrying this one - but I did get it for my birthday this morning

Happy birthday! Barolo is so versatile. Maybe you’ll post a modeling shot for us when you wear her.....
