Tara’s Florals, Patterns and Pretty
We were astounded by the amount of incredible new work that Tara Lilly created for our Menagerie and so we’re devoting an entire post to her gorgeous hand-painted images. Enjoy!
What happens when our artists go rogue on home décor art?
Check out some of the amazing artwork our artists created for Home Décor, revealed initially in our exclusive Menagerie showcase.
Registration for Bootcamp–Lilla’s most popular course–reopens for a limited time starting TOMORROW, February 26th, and closes for good on Friday. Don’t miss out!
February Bootcamp’s assignment was to create a floral journal cover. Artists were given a particular flower, a medium, and an on-trend palette to play with. Here’s the gorgeous work produced by some of our artists, available for license.
What happens when you give our artists an assignment to draw a Home Spa Chair?
Ta-da! We’re delighted to reveal these brand new images our artists have created around the theme of Home Spa Chair for our Menagerie. Relax and dig the vibes!

3rd Annual Menagerie

What makes a great portrait? More Menagerie Sneak Peeks!
Let’s chat about how my artist Anne Bentley paints portraits so beautifully. She includes only the essential qualities of likeness and leaves out extraneous stuff. There’s a kind of visual efficiency. But then, she goes full-on decorative in the background to tell the rest of the story. Here, she paints the distinctive features of beloved British writer Virginia Woolf–the bits of white under the iris, the slight droop of the lower lid, the long oval face and narrow nose. But then, the gorgeous Bloomsbury-esque wallpaper motifs in the background tell some more of the story. I hope you enjoy seeing some of Anne’s work she painted for our Art Menagerie.
