Kiss Me I’m an Artist

27
Jun
2010

You had me at Paddles!

Maggie O’Neill….  where might one begin when paying homage in written form to such an extraordinarily visual lady…First things first…You should probably peep her latest YOUTUBE Video…

Upon my travels with this saucy lady in Morocco I fell smitten and in love with her within seconds… From her studio’s annual Irish celebration parties, to her ‘Kiss me I’m an Artist’ t-shirts  the girl is the epitome of an ArtistE!

Once known as   ‘the dating artist’ ….(she had 30 dates, did 30 paintings…one about each)…I would have loved to have gone to THAT art opening.  Oh, I forgot to mention, she met her future husband on this arty dating adventure…but that’s a whole other story… (He had her when he did his kick ass WORM on the dance floor!) For those of you unfamiliar with the worm…recognize!

Maggie can also be found painting portraits of the seasons latest dresses for Neiman Marcus!  When she is not busy practicing her Wedding Worm routine she is busying her self by painting for the likes of this Falls Desperate Housewives of D.C. (Be sure to look for her on Bravo this Fall!).

The girl oozes talent and creativity, but mostly she SPARKLES and Glistens all things related to paint and positivity…  be on the look out for this classy color lover…something tells me she will be taking over the world just about any day now.

Oh yes and she also has the  most adorably high dimples and her signature ” paddles”  for thumbs that help her get all that painting done and swim really fast… Hey ladies, even cowgirls get the blues!

She does a whole slew of talented painty things out of her O’neill Studios in DC.  The girl is a vision…an inspiration…a HOOT and it should be in a textbook somewhere that  all artists, especially of the female kind should know her name!

For your stalking pleasure, here is a list of all things Maggie O’Neill….now do the worm and get down on it!

“…sort of taboo in our society where individuality is, like, the highest most sacred thing and i pride myself on being very individualistic, but i also love to submit myself to something more important.”- Stephen Alesch”

What an inspiring video to begin the day with.  Its such a delight to be reminded of something larger than ourselves.  In this industry we are continually invited into the homes and establishments of our clients with open arms.  I catch myself getting stressed or bombarded with pressures at times and strive to find that perfect balance of a job well done and taking things to the next level of service.

This video was such a pleasant reminder that its not just walls, or rooms, or spaces, but places that invoke “feelings” .  Just like the food we put into our bodies, our sacred  spaces hold a key to reminding us or taking us somewhere outside of ourselves.

Blessings!

inspired: 500 days of SUMMER

2010

Sometimes something just grabs at you.

Sometimes its long after its already grabbed so many others.  I know that the movie  500 Days of SUMMER has been out for a while now, but I really just can’t seem to get enough of all the eye, ear, and brain candy that is placed perfectly throughout this film.

Peep this chalkboard wall

The thing that most grabbed at me was  one of the main characters ‘Tom’s ‘ masculine chalkboard infused bedroom.  The beauty of this part of the film is that his room has one full wall that has been painted with chalkboard paint, but continues to change at various times throughout the film.  For you artsy folk out there, its worth watching just to take a ganders at this chalkboard wall.

Here are some other gems with chalk to get you all inspired…

I'm calling this the moustache look! & I love it

I feel like chalkboard paint is such a fun way to spice things up for the artistically minded DIYer or homeowner.  Give a sense of creative freedom to the owner.  How fun would it be to erase your doodles, or to let your kids run rampant fingers of chalk all over one of your walls?

kids can finally play!

I hope that you’ll watch it, and enjoy it just as much as I did.

My wish for YOU is that you find love in unexpected places, beauty in even the plain and pale, and a clean slate… a chance to finally regain the reins on all of your goals and maintain a strong sense of SELF worth and purpose.  We all make mistakes…but the light is always shining for us…if only we can open our eyes to see it!

Its always out there waiting for us!

This man’s music has blown me away, swept me up and put a big ol smile on my face.

A sweet Thank you to CollinDel for sharing this musical splatter with us via his love letters to his conscious! & now I share with you…

I saw this on my friend Joe Beuckman’s facebook page this morning and couldn’t stand to not share this painty marvel. What an inspiring way to start the day, if I do say so myself! Aside from the gorgeous artistic creativity in this video, I loved watching the sun rise and set on the masterpiece.

Have a great day ya’ll! ~ lulu
