Apart from my interest in interior decorating, I am also an artist, my subject matter is flowers and my current works are in oil medium, however in the past I used to specialise in watercolours. Watercolours have a special place in my heart as they are what inspired me to start painting. The liquid fluidity of the medium challenged me, however suited my floral subjects perfectly. Transferring this fluid, floral look onto fabrics with digital printing is a growing trend so I have been looking around for some inspiration.

The Watercolours of Amy Kirkpatrick
Last year I gave my readers a link to artist Amy Kirkpatrick's free 2013 calendar download, what I didn't do at the time was talk about Amy's gorgeous watercolour prints available from her Etsy store, Amy Kirkpatrick Fine Art. Amy is a talented water colour artist living in sunny California, and believe me as a former watercolour artist, it is one of the most difficult mediums to master, however Amy's talent has enabled her to create some beautiful paintings now available as prints from her Etsy shop. Recently Amy challenged herself to paint 100 butterflies in 100 days and her work was featured in Better Homes and Gardens. Her butterfly designs are also available as prints, I think they would look fabulous grouped on a wall.
Amy has kindly offered my regular readers and visitors 10% discount on her prints, if you place an order, please use the coupon code LEECAROLINE to receive your discount. Amy ships her prints worldwide her lovely images are printed are on white glossy, acid free paper with vibrant, non fading inks, with an optional upgrade to museum quality watercolour paper. All Amy's prints have her original signature.

I encourage you to visit Amy's stores and see her lovely works. If you would like a pet portrait, Amy offers commissions and can be contacted through her Etsy site (link at the top of my page).

Free Printable 2013 Calendars - My Two Picks!
With the New Year looming, I've been searching the Internet for a couple of free printable 2013 calendars to share. The first is from artist Amy Kirkpatrick, Amy is a professional watercolour artist living in San Diego, California who has designed a delightful calendar with a cross range of her watercolour images. Amy is kindly offering her calendar free to download.
Visit Amy Kirkpatrick Fine Art to download this pretty calendar. You could also visit Amy's Etsy Shop
where her fine art prints and digital craft sheets are available to purchase. NOTE: The first link is for the free calendar.
The second calendar is a simple black and white image of the Eiffel Tower which I thought would suit most decor styles. This vintage style calendar was designed by "Call Me Victorian", where you can find lots of free printables.
Personally I have downloaded both, Amy's for my studio and the Eiffel Tower for my kitchen.
Hope you have a wonderful New Years Eve
I will be sharing this post with:
