Yesterday I posted images of our new display at Black & Spiro in which we have a painting by a talented new artist we are representing.
Her name is Diana and she is a friend of my mothers. She has been painting on and off for years. She painted the painting below and gave it to us as an engagement present 8 years ago. She has been painting for family and friends mostly however, she recently decided she would paint a few of my vignettes.
A few weeks ago she arrived at Black & Spiro with the painting above of some pink peonies I had arranged in a blue and white ginger jar on the bench in our kitchen at home. I actually posted this image on the blog late last year and she loved it so much that she painted it. I instantly fell in love with the painting. One of our customers also fell in love with it and it sold on the very first day we displayed it.
Her second painting which I posted yesterday also sold on the very first day we displayed it. We are now awaiting delivery of painting number 3 with a couple of our customers wanting to be notified when it arrives.
Diana is so excited, as am I. I have always loved her style and I am just so thrilled that she has finally taken the step to allow me to have her beautiful paintings on display at Black & Spiro.
Diana gave us the painting above for our Engagement present and I have continued to love it over the years. I have it hanging in our kitchen at home above an old chest of drawers which houses my napery collection.

Gorgeous peonies...and how wonderful for your friend that everyone wants her work. She must be thrilled!
she's so talented! love her paintings!
Diana must be a delightful person because her paintings are so happy and show a lightness of spirit! It's no surprise that her work is so popular. You are very lucky to have one of these and to be able to show her beautiful work in your shop.
I'm not surprised they are selling out quick - they're gorgeous. I love paintings, there's something about owning something that someone has spent so much time over.

Oh! I love tea sets with a passion! Beautiful :)
Must be so gratifying to assist her in bringing her art out to be appreciated. Vibrant and beautiful. Loved all these cheery posts this week.
Just lovely!
i have this same ginger jar...or one very similar to it. i have never thought about arranging flowers in it, leaving the lid off...thanks for the idea!
Lovely! Did you know the characters on each jar means "Happiness" in Chinese, and so, both placed together, is a typical Chinese blessing for a newly-wed couple. Double Happiness!
