Harmony & Soul




I'm really pleased to share a few photos from the October issue of Danish, interior design magazine: Jean d'Arc Living.
Featuring the first of three articles I have written for the magazine, as a result of interviewing the owners of houses with beautiful interiors; a collaboration with the distinctive photography of Van Belkom Productions.



Internationally available in eight languages. The photo below comes from the Dutch version of: Harmony & Soul (14 page spread). Look out for the next two — November and January (2015).

Roxy Marine



Roxy Marine by Alison Day




FINAL PAINTING #30 in a month long of daily paintings for: #PaintingSeptember #Paintseptember.
If you want to see what the design went on to be used for, go: HERE
It was further adapted (see below) and became a textile design for a young female sportswear line: Roxy—celebrating the pacific ocean and marine life.
If chosen, it could be shown at a Quicksilver & Otis (Art & Design College, Los Angeles) fashion show in 2015.

#28: Nearing the end of a creative month—a painting a day.

Boudoir Bear


Boudoir Bear by Alison Day

 

Apparently, Teddy used to growl, but his internals have long stopped working; now he sounds more like a rattle. Beige, balding in patches and one paw needs a mend—his patient orange eyes stare, revealing nothing.

A feature from the house of my childhood— a cast iron cockerel—now one of the first things I see each morning, as I open the back door to the garden.

Aromatic Green

Aromatic Green by Alison Day

I love growing herbs—the ease with which they transform from seed to a flourishing plant—pungent, spicy Basil is my favourite (along with coriander). #PaintingSeptember #Paintseptember

Operatic Fidelity

Operatic Fidelity by Alison Day

Paloma Faith portrayed as a Perfect Contradiction. No longer flesh and blood, but machine—mechanical Carmen Miranda.

A bunch of grapes from the small harvest collected from the vine in my garden. Sweet tasting and about to be made into grape jelly.

My school art teacher would approve of the composition of this one: Don't draw the whole object she would say—make a selection.
