Happy Fun, Free Friday lovelies!
Pechane Sumi-e Paintings
I grew up looking at Sumi-e paintings by traditional Chinese and Japanese artists. Ā My parents have a few examples in their home from screen printed pillows to a modern interpretation. It’s cool to see this traditional form of Asian painting with broader, dynamic strokes reimagined and still being practiced today.Ā PechaneĀ is a French artist painting Sumi-e paintings and he paints a wide selection of subjects. Ā Traditional subjects include a river landscape and animals, like the adorable kitten below. Ā But he also paints portraits of women which is certainly a more modern twist.
Here are a few favorite pieces.
Otherwise this weekend I am…
…going to try out the Fresh vitamin nectar face mask. Ā I stopped by the Fresh store and met a nice associate who was telling me about their newest product. Ā Most importantly, his skin looked smooth and glowing and he credited it to this mask. Ā I’m all about bright skin so it’s worth a try! Ā I’ve finally realized I need to do more to really brighten and moisturize my skin. Ā Sigh, age is not my friend. Ā I also have another facial scheduled for next week so it’s the week of facials!
What are you doing this weekend?













I love the last one the best!
Of course I love the painting with the cat – so elegant and chic!
