i’m jealous of elizabeth mayville



Ahhh, these paintings make me want to exhale. So simple. So quiet. So lovely. They are the work of American artist/illustrator Elizabeth Mayville. As much as I love these buildings, and simple still life pieces, it was actually a couple of slightly bizarre portraits that roped me into Elizabeth’s portfolio:

Yep. Ladies with birds on their heads. Love.

    Love.

    I’m seeing Wayne Thiebaud influences, especially in that first landscape.

    Elizabeth Mayville lives and works in Grand Rapids Michigan USA, interestingly, the painting of lady in pink with a Huia bird perched on her head is an extinct native bird of New Zealand.
    Iā€™m a little curious as to why the artist choose this particular bird.

    Love!… made me smile. šŸ™‚
