Seasonal Bliss - Botany

It's time for more Seasonal Bliss! I'm Diana of D. S. Brennan Photography and I have a treat for you this November. As we head toward winter, I find myself drawn to those last remnants of the living things that made the Spring, Summer, and Fall so beautiful. So, I've created a little botanical collage as a desktop wallpaper for you. I hope you enjoy it!

To download this month's Seasonal Bliss Wallpaper, click the image below to open it in a new page, then go to the file menu and "Save Page As" or right click and "Set as Desktop Wallpaper". Please remember that it is for personal use only. Enjoy!





Be sure to browse these beautiful botanicals from Arts in RI members!

Personalize It with custom gifts!

What’s the secret to finding unique gifts for family and friends? Easy, give handmade custom or personalized gifts made for you by talented AiRI members! It is possible to find affordable, beautiful, handmade, one of a kind gifts custom made for your most special person. A personalized custom gift is extraordinary and tells the recipient you love them. Here's a few ideas to help you personalize your holiday gift giving.
How about a custom house painting. JulieBCreative will paint a portrait of your home or your gift recipients home and will double the gift by donating 20% of the cost to Habitat for Humanity!
For the music lover in your life, you can order personalized mixtape notes from HeatherJeany who offers not only personalized text, but color too!
For the nature lover, fantasy fanatic, or very special someone, ElysianFields will create a personalized custom nature's spirit pendant with a portrait painted from a photo you send her. You can even select the leaf shape of most significance to you.
PhriendyK8 will create a one of a kind custom dress for you. You decide on color, theme, applique patterns, and Kate will pull it all together into a gorgeous, one of a kind dress.
Got a passionate cook in your life, someone new to cooking? This the gift for them. I'll create a custom recipe box for you. You tell me color, theme, size and we go from there. Visit MalcolmStudioShop for ideas and to see completed custom boxes.

New Arrivals!

I'm happy to say that The Art of Lauren Minco welcomes some new arrivals. Whether you are doing some early holiday shopping or just want to grab the best goodies for yourself, check out guitar-playing birds, some swanky ladies, and this fun sushi-themed piece (mmmm...sushi!). They are small matted originals that won't break the bank and make for a unique present.

If you are also in the Rhode Island/ Massachusetts area, feel free to head down to Craftland in downtown Providence. There are many amazing artists selling their handmade works there and I have some original paintings for sale as well as journals and prints.
