Well, it's back to the grind.
Holidays are over and vacation has officially ended.
It's time to get going and grooving in this New Year!
I had a chance to spend some lovely alone time on Floor 24 [my studio] to paint...
paint... and oh yes, PAINT!
I was inspired a few weeks ago by the 2014 Pantone Color of the Year, Radiant Orchid, to create some pieces I blogged about here. These pieces featured today were inspired by the brilliant sky. I have such an amazing view from Floor 24. It's impressive to see how brilliantly blue and randomly gentle the sky and clouds can become in a matter of minutes.

I loved the look of these pieces so much, that I decided to update a spot in my master bedroom with a new piece. So, I got to work right away.... deciding to utilize neutrals to help create a calming space.
We have ordered a new sofa for our room. My hope is, it will become my space to have a quiet time.... read.... plan the day... enjoy a cup of tea. To just relax and be alone. Currently, we have a chair with a coffee table. But, the chair isn't comfortable and the set up isn't optimized for such previously stated desires. It's really just wasted stuff and space at this moment. We ordered a studio-sized sofa in an oatmeal color. I am SO excited! I will share with y'all once everything has come together.
Here is the piece I painted to go on a wall perpendicular to where the sofa will be placed.

It's really beautiful to look at in the mornings.
I am pleased with how it turned out!
I shared this shot on my instagram page of it installed.
I then kept with the neutral palette and created these other two pieces.
La Isla Bonita has a gold shimmer throughout the piece. I love how it flows in and out with the white.
I can't really capture the sheen in a photo... but, trust me.... it's there!

I'm excited that I am getting back.... Into the Groove.
Cuz, for me, it's not a grind. It's simply DIVINE!
Beautiful!
