I like the Matisse paintings showing interiors and the colors possible with fabrics and patterns.

A Christmas scene could also be done with posters or art as part of decor.

Jeffrey Allen Marks designed the room in this photo

Love them MR. It would be great to have a Christmas scene too. I like that you could take your own photography for it.

I like that idea of the photography too.

And for Christmas decor, it can be put away until the next season!

Mary Ruth are your familiar with the work of an artist who did paintings of interiors? I mean rooms. His name was Walter something. Think 20th century. I have always wanted to do that but would work from a photograph

I've always liked still life paintings of interior rooms. There's a woman who paints interiors showing curtains blowing in the breeze with beach views outdoors that I like. Can't remember her name and her link is on my other computer. I also like still lifes of china and china teacups/sets. Don't have many still lifes but do like them.

ITA with what JAM says in your link - “Brit style is more accidental than what we usually see in the United States. Design is more colorful and layered-and it always benefits from the carefree look of a happy accident. John knew how to make formal feel comfortable-and, thanks to my training with him, it’s what I love doing in my own designs-that is, taking the traditional and not only making it easily livable, but a little bit sassy too.” Thanks for the link Mary Ruth. I hadn't seen that blog before.

Lucky,
I LOVE falling into a new creative blog, I spend an hour or so sometimes just viewing and reading!

So you LOVE old houses you would love to rescue? Take a photograph blow it up and have it as ART in your home!
NO mess, no work, and just daydreams!

I love Matisse's interiors, but I am smitten with the gorgeous watercolors of illustrator Jeremiah Goodman. http://www.apartmenttherapy.co...ions-interior-130882

At the age of 90, Goodman is still at work in his NYC home creating vivid impressionistic visions of actual rooms. Usually he is commissioned by interior designers on behalf of their clients.

Here he depicts a room in Ronald and Nancy Davis Reagan's home in Bel Air.

Here's another goodie from Goodman, from the book "Inspired Impressions: Interior Paintings by Jeremiah Goodman." This is designer Elsa Schiaparelli's living room in Paris, no pink anywhere in sight!!

I love all of these. Thank you for sharing. I'll have to go back to the blog later and read more thoroughly.

Have you ever read The Art of Friendship by Duane Hampton? It's a collection of drawings of interiors and exteriors by Mark Hampton that he gave to friends. Here's a link to Amazon.

OMG you will not believe what just happened. The post got restricted a/c of the last name of the artist. My oh my what a pol iti cally correct world we do live in now!

I LOVE interior renderings! I know how time consuming they are! I did one in college with just taupe and pearl colors and it took me 24 hrs (of drawing and coloring in with markers) time! It is more sepia or orange-ish now and has dulled.

Here is is (photo attached)
It has darkened over time and the lines are fading. This thing is the size of a floor plan... like 24" X 36". I keep meaning to have it copied and then I would shrink it down to a smaller size to frame. I did a lot of renderings for designers I knew way back then, can't find the portfolio with my drawings...

Emily, thanks so much for the link to painter Walter G. I had heard of him, but never had the chance to see examples of his works until now.

Mary Ruth, what great talent you have in rendering. My cousin in Coral Gables, who retired as an architect, has his renderings of the buildings he designed framed and displayed in his home office. They are all hand drawn, no CAD renderings. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

aychihuahua,
I ended up learning AutoCad and drawing with that, it was fun and fast, especially when I could render in the woodgrain, and colors, the first programs were more crude, but they got so good they look almost like real photos!

The drawing I did had like greige coloring, like the way they do French design now.

I was so sorry I drew in the mirrors, then they needed the reflections! Markers are so precise too more mechanical. I should have left details out in the distant to give it more character. Also I LOVE the watercolor ones!
I couldn't afford the paper back then to do a water color. The point was NOT to give the drawing a character, but make it mechanical.

Mary Ruth that is so beautiful. I would love to go to a wedding reception or dinner in that room.

Seems to me you could earn some nice amount of money doing renderings.

I used to! LOL
here is one of the fabric boards I made to go with that job presentation. Since it was a French design, I presented my portion of the project in French! LOL

The middle of the board, the small silver color square is the drapery fabric (stage curtain) that had rhinestones in it, actually Swarovski crystals! So the estimate was tremendous for all that fabric! You can see that the colors were indeed neutral cool and warm colors.

So beautiful, Mary Ruth. You are very talented.

Thanks Gracie,
When you work around seasoned designers and other talented people there is a certain level of professionalism expected and you rise to the occasion! (or not be around much longer! LOL)
