The artist, Bella Foster, first showed up on my radar over a year ago. Kate Spade, had hired Ms. Foster to illustrate the company's calendar for 2010. I was instantly hooked, and ever since I've been following the work of this whimsical artist. In fact, Bella Foster can even be found occasionally blogging over at Here There And Them. Between her colorful imagery, (often compared to Matisse) and her subject matter of choice...interiors, isn't it easy to see why I just adore her work?

Ps: I’m hosting an stunning Ruche GIVEAWAY later today! Hope you’ll join in :)
Yes, her work is totally charming. You can definitely see the Matisse influence. Yet the watercolor gives it a modern freshness.
Yes I remember thinking Matisse when I first saw it and the strange thing is I'm not a big Matisse fan but I loved the Kate Spade calendar. I bought one for myself and several more for friends I was so smitten with it :)
Love the bright colours and the naievety of these. Very les fauves!
This is my type of art! Love the use of color... adorable. Hope you are having a good week, Sue! xo
Just adorable! Will hope over to her blog and see some more!!
Sue, these are lovely - I can see why you're smitten!
I love her work too, so pretty and fresh!
Breathe of fresh air! Love her work, and I can see why Kate Spade chose her. Very close to the Spade look.
