We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.

Being a bit of a vagabond makes me appreciate more than ever the idea of a home to call one’s own. Not owning a house of my own at the moment, I am drawn to artists’ work of dwellings. Take a peek at these homey pieces!

You will never catch me watching a gory horror movie, so I’m not usually drawn to truly gruesome imagery. But I do love a good spooky mystery, so just in time for Halloween, today’s round-up features some of my favorite frightful art!

In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, this Friday Faves round up is dedicated to the color pink. Pink is the color of femininity, yes, but it is also becoming a symbol of positivity and the power to overcome. This month and always, Artsy Forager encourages you to Think Pink– breast cancer is a threat to us all, but what an encouragement it is to see so many women ( and men ) winning their battle! I hope you’ll consider making a donation or linking to The Pink Fund on your blog of Facebook page, look for the link at the bottom of the post.

Said it before, I’ll say it again. Fall is my favorite season. The cool, crisp air, the golden light, the colors, the comfort food, I love it all! For the very first time, this Florida girl is experiencing a real Fall. With boot weather and incredible changing leaves, I’m so excited, I can barely stand it. While in this autumnal frame of mind, I thought I’d share with you some of my favorite Fall-inspired art…

Please visit these artists’ websites to see more of their work– some Fall-ish, some not. I’m hoping George & I might see some real Fall color this weekend here in Southern Oregon. What about you? Any autumnal activities on tap?
One of the many things George & I love about the Pacific Northwest is the wildlife. In the 4 months we’ve been here, we’ve seen bear, elk, hoary marmots, sea lions, elephant seals, eagles, chipmunks and more deer than I can count. This area of the country still feels incredibly wild and untamed. So this week, I’m sharing all the wild artwork I’m, well, wild about lately.

Happy Friday, Artsies! If you’ve been reading the blog for a while, you have probably noticed that it’s a little painting heavy. Painting as a medium is my first love, ooey-gooey globs of paint on a canvas will always be the first thing to catch my eye. I hate that it seems like sculpture is the red-headed step child of the art world. I do love beautifully rendered sculpture and have vowed to feature it more here. So as I work on some sculptors to feature soon, here’s a round-up of some three dimensional work that I am especially drawn to.

Do you have a favorite 3-d artist? Do tell! Have a fantastic weekend, Artsies! To see more of any of the above sculptors’ work, please visit their websites:
