Bodyboard, Antoine Rose
Being at the beach this week, it’s all that’s on my mind. Recently I did a post on beach photography, but hadn’t found this photographer — Antoine Rose. I love the green color of the water in his photos. These are from his UP IN THE AIR series.
About the adventurous working process of aerial photography Rose once confessed in an interview: “Shooting from helicopters, all doors removed, 300 feet above earth at 20 knots and getting tack sharp images that can be printed as large as 10 feet wide is quite a challenge.” (copy via Samuel Owen Gallery)
You can purchase these prints at Samuel Owen Gallery.

I love these limited edition graphic prints by Danish graphic designer and illustrator Kristina Krogh. I love how she mixes texture, geometric shapes and color. These are all limited editions of 50, so it’s something special that not everyone will have hanging on their walls. It’s hard to pick a favorite — which one would you pick?

I tend to lean toward neutral when it comes to interiors. I like to add an accent of color in the accessories, art, pillows and sometimes rugs, but for the main pieces that will stay with you for years I always go with something neutral. I love the simplicity of the black, gray, white and brown palette in Nina Holst’s living room. If you get tired with this look you can easily change the art and pillows up for a few hundred dollars and have a completely different look the next season.
Get the look:

The Piscinão de Ramos, Brazil, Massimo Vitali
I think it is well known by this point that I have a thing for beaches and pools, so naturally I’m drawn to beach photography and artwork. I already own one photograph by Gray Malin, but I’m thinking I’m going to need to add another one from his Á la Plage, Á la Piscine series.

pink bather
Since lying by a pool (or on the beach) is one of my favorite things to do, Portland artist Lisa Golightly’s pink bather immediately grabbed me. I love that the figure is on a solid color background (with a little texture). I also like the painterly brushstrokes Lisa paints with. Check out the rest of her work in her shop Kiki & Polly — lots of affordable art prints.
