Body And Soul: Ali Cavanaugh

Filtered Through Understanding

You know what? I think I lied about only liking loose and messy drawings. When I saw Ali Cavanaugh painstakingly detailed watercolours on my Tumblr dashboard I was immediately captivated.

Behind Me

Trying to find out more about her and her method, I stumbled on this article from the Artist Daily website that explains things better than I ever could.

Coincidence That Was Once Blurred Is Now Clear

Once again I'm taking you on a walk through a wood.

Forest Lights IV - Solstice

One way or another I always seem to take you on a walk

in the woods!

Get Some Culture Inta Ya!

The Kiss - Gustav Klimt

While I'm not averse to online marathons of America Next Top Model or

Project Runway sometimes I'm in need of something more substantial.

When that need arises I turn to ArtWatch, a great site archiving art documentaries
plucked far and wide on the interweb,
here you'll be sure to find something to interest you.
 If art is not your thing, you philistine, you can brush up on your history as art is
only one of the categories covered by this site, no sharks though!

Audrey's Girls

Yume No Alto - Oil On Wood - 2006

Dreamlike, sensual, with an underlying air of eroticism: Audrey Kawasaki's paintings are a real treat for the eyes, she's influenced by Art Nouveau and Japanese Manga, on her site you will find limited edition glicee prints of her work, they get snapped up pretty fast, but you can always sign up to her newsletter to be informed about any new prints available for sale.

So Into You!

I discovered Simon Henwood art on the covers of the ever stylish Roisin Murphy Sequins eps and, later on, the cover of her album Ruby Blue [ which is, by the way, still one of my favourites albums after more than two years of playing it constantly, I never tire of it!], I fell in love with his paintings, this guy is super talented! Not only he paints these wonderful large scale portraits but he's also responsible for Roisin videos for the songs " Sow Into You", and " If We'Re In Love" and a lot more besides! I hope that, if you're not familiar with his work, you will take the opportunity to go and check his web-site and you too will fall in love!


On a different note, I think the top Roisin is wearing in this portrait totally rocks!
