i’m jealous of elizabeth mayville

05.11.2012



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.
