Secondly, I am totally stealing the idea for this post from one of my favorite bloggers; EP over at Stylish Handwriting gave a video blog about the art in her house (which is obviously way cooler because she's a professional & all) so here is my lame attempt to show you something I love, a photo tour of some of my favorite pieces of art in mi casa (not only am I run on sentence queen, I am apparenly now bi-lingual.)
This is one of my favorite paintings. It was done by my Mother (who happens to be an artist), and I love it.
Another one done by my Mom (purple is my favorite color).
A hand made sign I found at a street fair in Seattle. I fell inlove with it, bought it, and then had to figure out how to bring it on the plane home. (It means "I love you" in French.)
This was a horrible job on my part.. It's one of a series of 3 photographs I have of Italy, that have been hand tinted.. It's actually really pretty in person.
My parents brougth this back from Greece. I loved the colors and "adopted" it.
This is actually in my bathroom. It doesn't have any windows, so this is my fake window view.. classy, i know.
I got this from a San Francisco art show/ street fair. It was cheap (maybe $15), but I thought it was adorable, and it reminds me of how much I love San Francisco.
My mom painted this for me from a photograph I took in Nantucket. (I love lighthouses & Nantucket.)
Another Jacquelyn Fox (my mother) creation.. Click on her name if you want to check out her super cute website! (btw we have differnt last names, in case you were wondering.)
This isn't exactly art... but its filled with things I love. Photos of friends, family,cards, & concert tickets... the flowers in the bottom right corner are from V-day.So there you have it my lovelies... a tour of some of my favorite art (inside my house).

Wow you have so much beautiful art around your house!!
My mom paints as a hobby, she's done it her whole life and she's very talented, I have lots of her artwork hung up in my apartment as well! I only wish I'd inherited that talent :-)
I love your picture collage. It's wonderful to have pics of loved ones around.
You are a good energy. I am happy to have found your blog and more happy to share The Passionate Bookworm's awards with you! I will keep reading your blog, and I hope you find some enjoyment from mine. Your collage IS art.
I love your art tour! And the fact that your mom is an artist is SO fun! Seriously! Thanks for sharing your place with us!
I love how your art shows places all over. Very fun!
That was lovely! I'm quite jealous of your mother. I would love to be able to paint! The pictures from vacations were my favourites; I also love to put pictures up around my house from places I've traveled! The list isn't very extensive so far, but I'm working on it.
Hope you have a lovely day! :)
LOVE that picture of Greece! I almost bought a similar painting when I was there for our honeymoon!!
