Interior Design Diversion

A very left of field post here, rather than drawing any horses, yesterday I switched into Interior Designer mode and sketched ideas for a friends living room instead.

Yes, there really are no bounds to my creativity (!) or the rather there is no end to the things that I will do to avoid the mundane chores or much more important things on the 'to do' list. The world can fall apart around me (believe me this week it has been) but as long as the one in my head looks nice, we can all be fine....agreed?

Equine Art a Big Trend in 2011

I stumbled across a rash of interiors blogs and articles highlighting that Equine Art is the big trend of 2011.

It certainley seems to be a trend in my home right now, although I am not sure my presentation of them is at all what the article had in mind.

Right now, my house is littered with paintings of horses, framed and unframed, in a great big random creative guddle.I suspect if I hung them all, it might take things a little too far for my husbands tastes.

It is nice to see a little crossover between my horsey other professional interest - when I am  not painting ar riding horses I am an Interior Designer - and it did think maybe the horse art thing is a bit less 'niche' than it seems. You know me, I don't need a lot of encouragement to work on my horsey art as it is, but seeing this does actually gee me up a bit.....I feel a little creative weekend flurry coming on!
