The is a photo I took (and cropped) of a painting by Justin Vining. It hangs in the Uptown Café in Valparaiso, IN. It is the first thing that I noticed when I stepped foot in the café for the first time. The colors are simply amazing. I’m participating in Popinjay, a weekly concept photo challenge. This week’s challenge was BOLD. Next week’s challenge is FREE. Join us.
Sidenote: Popinjay is a trending topic on Google. I wonder why?


I read and value each and every comment and I visit those who comment... even if I don't comment back. I'm working on it, I swear! Stuff you should know *ehehm*: So... sometimes companies send me items of interest in exchange for a feature on my blog. Some also compensate me for my time and efforts creating content to promote them. Yay! I always disclose if I have a relationship with a company. If I don't disclose a relationship with a company and I link to them, then the link is most likely an affiliate link. I use a plugin that automatically does this for me. Cool huh? Just want to make sure we are clear, okay? Read my full disclosure policy

I love that painting. And the collage–I should’ve taken a picture of the collage artwork. Justing Vining is simply amazing!
How pretty! I’m not sure I have the artistic mind for these sorts of things. I was at hobby lobby for an hour today debating between sheets of scrapbook paper for a project I’m working on for the nursery, I can’t match for the LIFE of me! *sigh* my poor child.
PS: Yes, SKINNY JEANS! Why didn’t I think of that?!

@FutureMama, you and me both. It takes me a while to get it together in the crafty department!

Wow. I never would have thought those colors would look so great together.

@Michele Lee, I’m inspired to create some artwork using those colors. I have no idea what exactly, but just have to do something using those colors.
