These gorgeous mixed media paintings are the work of Atlanta based artist, illustrator and educator Charly Palmer. His painted and collaged flowers are what grabbed me, apparently an element he started incorporating into his work after his mother passed away in 2008 {which makes me love them even more}. Speaking of love… most of us have been cursing 2020, but Charly is having a VERY good summer. In June, the album cover he painted for John Legend was released, in July his work was on the cover of TIME Magazine, and in August… he got married! Yep, he’s making 2020 look pretty damn good:

Congratulations, Charly!
