(Marsh) F Painting by Katherine Sandoz
One of my all-time favorite artists, Katherine Sandoz, recently updated her online boutique of luxury items with some gorgeous, abstract landscapes I simply cannot get enough of. It is as if I could fill every room in my home with her beautiful, melodic paintings. They come framed too, making them easy-to-hang upon arrival — which is exactly what you'll want to do once you see these gorgeous colors and strokes with your own eyes.

This is perfect for a feminine bedroom or a teenage girl's bedroom, which still requires sweetness, but is begging for sophistication.
Jenny Vorwaller, Evening Reflection
Reminiscent of Monet's waterlilies, this contemporary version is mesmerizing, cheerful and full of positive light and energy. It would make a lovely addition to any space. Painted on gallery-wrapped canvas, it arrives ready to hang.
Viansa Winery By Paul Ferney
This is a gorgeous oil on panel by artist Paul Ferney showcasing the beauty of Sonoma County, California. I love the thick brushstrokes and the color palette. He is definitely an artist to watch (and to stock up on).

Slice of Life, Seven Generations
Love the idea of a family tree, but not interested in the traditional arbre? Well, this is the best one I've found to date.

Yellow Roses By Lena Levin
This is a cheerful, bold piece with just the right amount of femininity. It would look lovely propped up on a sideboard with a stack of pretty books and a lovely lamp.
Favorite Baby Gift
