Love This! "Chameleon" Painting Series by Shawna Gilmore

"Love This!" is back! After a somewhat unintentional 1.5 year hiatus, this monthly column has returned and is here to stay; thank you for letting me know how much you missed it in my recent 2017 Reader Survey!

This month, we're looking at a some gorgeous springy/floral and also somewhat mysterious (or at least curious) paintings by Midwestern artist Shawna Gilmore.

I love this series, entitled "Chameleon," because it's both lighthearted and in some cases, kind of dark at the same time. There's a playfulness to her work that straddles the line between fun and foreboding...do you get that vibe when you look at these paintings, too? And not to mention her talent! Wowee. 

You can view some of my favorite pieces from this series below:

Great, right? I love the light outlines that hint at the shapes against the floral wallpaper patterns...I can't get enough florals right now! Happens every spring ;) 

If you love Gilmore's work as much as I do, you can view lots more of it on her website. 

I hope your week has been as flowery as these paintings [thus far]!
