Dear Ol' Dad | Father's Day Goodies

Cool Cat Father's Day Card from Rive Gauche Craft



A snazzy jazzy card for Pops!  Is this not the kind of style every dad aims to exude?  And here's the best part - the inside reads, "The coolest cat of them all."    


MOTHER'S DAY CARDS & GIFTS

Illustrated Greeting cards and pretty gifts for Mom on Mother's Day

It's nearly Mother's Day!

In honor of the occasion, and of course, in honor of Mom, here are a few brand new treats from the Rive Gauche Craft boutique.  

My personal favorites are the recipe cards.  It seems like my mom's always looking for a new recipe, or adapting one to suit her palette (I looove how she doubles the topping on her apple-berry crisp!).  These are perfect - she can indulge in one of her favorite things, and I can bring a few cards of my own to swipe some of her delectable recipes.

New Stationery | Spring Kittens

Cards, stationery, and postage stamps featuring painted cats and flowers
Make way for two new charming feline characters in your stationery stash this Spring... 
"Dancing Darling", a sweet tawny orange cat wearing a flower wreath crown, painted in gouache, & a little Sugar-White Kitten perched among the chrysanthemums in someone's garden.  I suspect I'll have to draw up some brothers and sisters for these little cats pretty soon. 

See the full collections in the Paper & Home Shop: Dancing Darling & Sugar-White Kitten

And take a look at Dancing Darling's print in the Print Shop!

TEA PARTY CAT

Fashion illustration cat teapots and strawberries in a polka dotted dress


Man, it's been a while, hasn't it?  Here's a sneak peek from my latest collection of cats:  "Tea Party Cat in a Karen Walker Dress".  A whimsical cross between fashion illustration and something out of a wild children's story.  See more of her in the Print Shop and her full collection in the Paper & Home Shop. 

I'm working on a few branding and marketing things at the moment, and one of them is the re-vamp of the Rive Gauche Craft blog.  Exciting?  Yes!

HOLIDAY EXHIBITION


Headless Nude
I've been working on these gals, painted in watercolor, over the past week in preparation for a December-long exhibit at the Anastasia & Friends Gallery.  Exciting!  


Prints of these ladies are up in the Print Shop, and several accessories and home products featuring the illustrations are ready for you in the Boutique.


BOHEMIAN STYLE WITH "HAPPINESS"


I couldn't resist.
Please forgive me for shamelessly styling an interior design inspiration board around one of my own paintings?  Oh, how I wish this were my living room...
 


Bohemian style living room with aqua velvet sofa, feminine mint green fashion illustration painting, bright colors, vintage modern feel




I love how cheery and quirky this look becomes when paired with rich teals, velvet, and shiny lacquered sky blue items.  It's sort of romantic and fresh at the same time - the combination of Modern, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco elements.  And how wonderful is that seriously luxe velvety 5 seater sofa?!

 You can purchase a print or giclee version of my oil painting - the nude wearing stag beetles, aka "Happiness," in my (new!) online print shop.


The Shop is Open!

 
I'm so excited to announce the opening of the Rive Gauche Craft print shop!

Here's a sneak peek at what's inside:

INSPIRATION | CARNIVAL



color, tassels, florals, animals, polka dots, and stripes




The state fair is going on right now, and I can't wait to visit.  (I can hear the elephant ears calling my name from my house!)  

On my inspiration board for fall: bright primary hues, florals, polka dots, tassels, animal motifs, and stripes.
