i wanted to kick things off today with these lovely paintings by artist chelsea james. based in houston, texas, chelsea creates beautiful figural, still life and landscape paintings which are sold through galleries in california and utah. you can browse several galleries of her work right here; i’ve chosen my favorites above and below.
were you making a pun with “kick things off” in your post beside the pile of kicked off shoes? I like these, and that donut… what a place to find one!
i absolutely love these paintings. nothing like an artist that appreciates shoes!
I would love to have one of these paintings in my home. What an amazing artist!
Thanks for the art update today! I’ve been searching for a new artist to fall in love with and now I’ve found her.
shoes and dessert. My 2 favorite things. love this artist.
When I saw this artist I was obsessed. I found out she has a website – chelseajames.com for all those interested
These paintings are sublime. Thanks so much for introducing her to us. I linked over to her website, which is also wonderful. What a nice boost on a rainy day!
Absolutely love her work! I’m inspired now to get the easel out again. Great palette and compositions – thanks for the post.
these are beautiful. they remind me of tobin sprout’s work
So fun to see these here! I have 4 of her paintings hanging in my home. I can’t get enough of her. Found her in a gallery in Salt Lake City. Actually tried to buy the pile of shoes painting but was beat out by a Salt Lake City collector. She is fresh and fun.
I love the simplicity and composition of her work. My sister has a couple of her pieces and they are so inviting and comfortable.
How beautiful. Looks like a fresh talent that will be worth keeping up with.
