Jessica’s Friday Favorite
"Sunflowers #5" by Eugene Tanski
Eugene Tanski’s photographs are often wrought with drama, and “Sunflowers #5″ is a perfect example. It’s a powerful image of huge, rolling storm clouds (coming or going, I wonder?) hanging above a sea of cheery flowers. The vivid, beautiful colors make a wonderful accent to any room — I have a print hanging in my office, and it is a constant topic of conversation. Prints start at $45, so it’s easy enough to add a little drama (the good kind) to your office, too.

"Pop Fossil" by Mark Goodman
This week’s Friday Favorite is brought to you by Sara Chojnacki, the Artist Coordinator at Artwork Network.
Today seems like a good day to get in touch with my inner child. The bright colors and whimsical feel of Mark Goodman’s, “Pop Fossil” brings me back to the days of finger painting and block forts. Whether you want to let your inner child out, or want to share your love of paleontology with the world, you can’t go wrong with this piece by Mark Goodman. And honestly, who wouldn’t love to come home from a stressful day at work and be greeted by a triceratops?! It’s yours for $800!
HGTV’s Color of the Month: Indigo
This month, HGTV cited their newest Color of the Month was surrounded in debate. Indigo, they said, was “east of blue, west of violet”. Not quite navy, not quite purple, but testaments from HGTV staff such as “Indigo is nautical navy’s sexy, mysterious cousin” (Liz Gray, Senior Editor) and my favorite, “Indigo reminds me of brand new blue jeans on the first day of school, when the weather just starts to turn cooler” (Marianne Canada, HGTV Home Studio).
So what is indigo to you? Here are a few pieces I’d call “just east of blue”, with some “navy” mixed in for comparison:
"Blue Mass" by Kyle Goodrich
"Intermediaty" by Michele Brower
"Nights in Rio" by Silvana Ravena
"Oxbow Turnout" by Susan France
"A Way Opens" by Helen Braider
"Tree Vines" by Linda Everson
Jona’s Friday Favorite
"Big Country Pomscape" by Gus Harper
This week’s Friday Favorite is brought to you by Jona Carlbom, the Marketing Coordinator at Artwork Network.
You may need a ‘how to’ explanation of how to de-seed a pomegranate to get to those hidden juicy bursting little seeds. L.A. artist Gus Harper gives you a stain free option to this fascinating fruit with ‘Big Country Pomegranate’ part of his series ‘Signs of a Benevolent Universe’. It has an energy of life in it that makes me want to stare. Put it in any room of your house to liven up the conversation and please your eyes! This series is going fast, take it home for $3,000 before I do!
Trend: Purple
Lots of designers are crushing over pretty purples, and we’ve hunted up a few art pieces to match. Jeanine Hays over at HGTV is smitten with “shades from grape to a warm gray-purple mix”. Be sure and browse her collection of gorgeous interiors – and let us know what color YOU’RE looking for!

"Red Sight" by Silvana Ravena
If I could live inside a piece of art, it would be Silvana Ravena’s “Red Sight”. I want to wander along its lines, be warmed by the vivid reds and warm browns, and chase hints of a bursting blue around each corner. This is the kind of piece that begs to be explored with fingertips, and at 72″ x 42″, there is a lot of space to explore. Go ahead, be the talk of the town with your gloriously enviable new art — yours for $3,300.
Featured: The Moon
Today is the 42nd anniversary of the moon landing. I don’t know about you, but I am certainly wishing for a vacation in the stars. Until NASA decides to put designers in space, however, I’ll be admiring some of these moon-themed pieces from the ground.
"The Moon as a Flower" by Eva Behring
"Landscape #4 Moon Eclipse" by Lee Hovey King
"Great Coyote with Moon" by Race Cedillo
Trend: Emerald Green
Emerald has been dubbed on HGTV’s blog as the new “it” color for fall, and I’m green with envy over these images of these interiors. This deep hue is a hint of old world sophistication and modern glamor. Did you know early emerald dyes were laced with arsenic, causing ill effects for fashionable 1800′s women? It’s a different risk now – adding the wrong patterns and textures, and your luxe emerald home goes from “fit for royalty” to “backwoods cabin”. Not quite as dangerous, but still scary to me!
Here are a few of my favorite emerald pieces:
"Floating Over Summer Road" by Jean Albus
"Alcazar Sevilla, Spain" by David Lisman
"Landscape Spectrum #6" by Helen Braider
"Sunrise on Palouse Hills" by Randall K Roberts
"Paraclesis (A)" by Tim McKay
"Iggy Pop" by Mark Goodman
