No more bare walls! I’m thrilled to announce that since last week I’m the proud owner of this gorgeous painting, which now hangs in our living room.
Beautiful, isn’t it?
I first saw this painting in September, when P and I went house hunting in Chipping Norton. We’d booked a week at Chippy Cottage, a lovely B & B owned by Melanie and Dave, and as soon as I stepped into the bedroom I fell in love with this large painting hanging over the bed.
I just couldn’t take my eyes off it….
After a few days I discovered that Melanie was the artist behind the beautiful painting…I didn’t think that she’d be willing to let this particular piece of art go, so I set my heart at peace….but I kept thinking how perfect it would be for our house.
Fast forward to last Friday, and…I was right: Melanie’s painting looks just perfect in our lounge!
So what do you think? I adore the colours and texture of this painting; every time I look at it I discover something different, some nuances that had escaped me before…
And every time I look at it, I stop what I’m doing for a second, and smile. What more would you want from a piece of art?
Oh, I almost forgot: beside painting, Melanie also makes gorgeous jewellery, and you can see some of her pieces in her website. Enjoy!

Cristina,
I love the painting. It really pops with all that white. I’m so attracted to white for interior design. It feels so ethereal!
Thanks Angela! You’re right, white gives a very ethereal feel to interiors…and it maximise the light, which I love.
Hi Cristina,
The paintings long horizontal shape is perfect against your white wall and I like how the yellow in the art matches your cushion on your sofa. Although I am not a particular fan of pink, in this painting, it’s beautiful and thought provoking. The fact that it makes you smile means it’s a winner!
Thank you Jenny! I too think that the long horizontal shape is just perfect for that wall, and better than a square painting.
Cristina, I absolutely LOVE that painting! And I LOVE how you’ve styled your lounge! Your photos are gorgeous and beautifully styled (but of course). My highest compliments!
Thank you Brit!! I had a feeling you might like this painting
I not just like it, I LOVE it and wish I had it hanging in my own lounge!
Any chance you would take detail pix of it????
I’ll try and get some detail pictures the next time it’s sunny – it’s been overcast and foggy these past few days, and although I love the magical mood, the light is not that great for shooting.
I’ll send you pics by email
