Ahhh, so dreamy. South African artist/illustrator Kirsten Sims paints all sorts of things {for personal shows and for commercial clients}, but it’s her dusk-meets-nighttime work that takes my breath away. Don’t you want to go on a vacation now? Warm African nights, starry skies, and deep navy blue in every direction. Happy Friday.

ps. I wrote about Kirsten in 2013, and as you can see from that post, I loved her nighttime paintings back then too! The heart wants what the heart wants.

Ahhh! I can almost feel the warm, sweet, tropical breezes wafting over me {ok, that might be the space heater blowing from under my desk, but a girl can dream}. These are the strange and magical landscapes of South African artist Kirsten Sims. I am completely enamored with all of the lush plants, not to mention the sweet little houses & tents… but what truly takes my breath away… the skies. Oh, the night-time skies! Gorgeous.
