Life Imitates Art and Art Imitates Life


As Bob & I decorated our tree this weekend, we couldn't help but notice how some of the ornaments resembled some of the paintings from my 30 in 30 for 30 project...


This owl ornament from my childhood reminded us of... "Thankful Owl".
(available here)


This glass frog reminded us of... "Frog Prince".
 (sold)


This Picasso's Madonna ornament reminded us of... "Picasso Dog".
 (available here)


This wooden cow ornament reminded us of... "Holy Cow".
 (available here)


This funny cat ornament reminded us of... "Afterward".
 (sold)


This margarita ornament reminded us of... what else?!?  "Margarita".
 (available here)


Even the tree skirt reminded us of a painting... "Poinsettia".
 (sold)

I guess it's true when they say that we paint what we know!

Since I was so inspired by Art Every Day Month at the Creative Every Day blog I've decide to sign up for Creative Every Day 2011


Won't you join me?

  4. LOL!! I guess that was your subconscious at work!! And I thought only my nutcracker and the poinsettia were Christmas themed. Little did I know what an interesting and eclectic tree you have!!

    I signed up again. But I'm doing it differently next year.

    P.S. I tried sketching a nutcracker yesterday! Will likely be writing about them and posting pics next Monday - including talking about and showing yours. Thanks again Kristin, he's so great!!

  7. How amazing! Its quite wonderful and slightly scary at the same time to realise how much of a sponge we are to what's around us!! I love the fact you have cocktails, cats and cows on your christmas tree :) xx

  9. That is incredible, and very cool!

    We just received a bunch of White House Ornaments from previous years...so I can't say my art looks like any of those. ;)

  10. Your Afterward cat painting is so cute. I can see why it's already sold.

    Amazing to see your picasso dog next to the madonna. I think that is my favorite comparison.
