I’m a little sleepy this morning, so I thought I’d wake myself up with some colorful paintings from artist Kate Lewis. Kate’s paintings of interiors have a loose, organic feel that reminds me of a quick sketch — in the best way possible. They feel as though she joined the homeowner for a cup of tea and happened to have a palette with her to document the moment. Each is a quick peek inside a beautiful room, focusing on small details like fabrics, flowers or lighting. You can check out all of Kate’s paintings right here; it’s fun to see some of the design trends we’ve been covering for the past few years immortalized in paintings (kilims, anyone?). xo, grace

Nate Berkus, anyone? I love those paintings – and Nate’s kitchen!
I adore Kate and her beautiful paintings. Her colors are always bright and happy, and I always feel warm and cozy seeing each image…such a talent!! The kitchen with the yellow table is one of my favorites!!

Beautiful… i took watercolor classes once but never mastered it…
Love the soothing colors and soft lines!
Kate really knows how to work the colour yellow… these are so sunny, warm and upbeat!
So lovely… They remind me of Matisses.
They look so dreamy and peaceful; I would love to crawl into one of the paintings and curl up with a cup of tea. Just lovely.
These paintings are so lovely, thank you so much for sharing them. Nothing like some beautiful art to brighten up a day.
I absolutely love how transparent the colors are.

I love Katie’s work too…So serene and it makes me feel contented when I look at it…
Beautiful. I need to check her work out. Her work makes me think of Matisse’s interiors and Egon Shiele’s delicate handling.
Yes, these are beautiful, just like Kate! Fresh and crisp. Keep up the great brush strokes.
