Au Naturale

Carmel Bay


I am so in love with these paintings curated by the designer Nathan Turner for Dutch Touch.


 
Monterey




 

Blue Agave



Aloe 1


I have been combing the internet for lithograph or postcard copies of these.  But, alas, they cannot be found!  I can't figure out whom the artist is either.  I am obsessing over the last two.   I am guessing they are reproductions of an anonymous botanical engraving.  The prices for the hand painted repro's are unlisted, which means "unaffordable"! 

I love the California-Spanish feel of these prints.

The last time we lived in Monterey my mother-in-law bought me this print called "Childhood Memory" by the Big Sur artist Erin Gafill.  The name is so apropos beacuse I have so many happy memories of these mountains in my own childhood.

I like these antique egg prints.  I guess I'd say I am going through a naturalist phase.  I like the look of fossils, antlers, shells, coral, rocks...etc.



These are from All Posters.


Shell III Fine Art Print




Purple Heron Art Print


I love these types of bird studies. However, I am starting to creep myself out by the amount of bird prints, pillows, figurines, and bedding I have!



Fabric from Dwell studio and sold at Calico Corners.  It also comes in a duvet set, but seems a bit busy for  a bed.


I like this one, again, from Dwell.
  I already have the quilt, which was sold at Target. Maybe one more bird thingy couldn't hurt!
(Note the artwork)
