Wants vs. Needs












Want!!!

Currently obsessed with Andy Warhol's iconic flowers...
clearly, I'm not the only one.

I snapped this last image at 
an amazing local art event last month:
"The Modern Show/Famous for 15 Minutes -
Icons of the 1970's and 1980's"
More on this tomorrow!

  22. as my mom would say, SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! ahhahaha

    i work in an art gallery and am exposed to a lot of art that i CAN NEVER AFFORD. it kind of sucks. i don't really mind too awful much, as it is nice to know how beautiful it is, and to know how fabulous your taste is. sigh. at least that is what i tell myself. :)

  23. Cheerful. Happy. Sunny. Engaging!
    All of these images evoke these words, for me.
    I'm especially drawn to the floral images.
    Looking forward to more!
    Happy Day, Susan!

  30. I completely dig Andy Warhol. His flowers are just amazing. Interesting to see your post...I've got some note cards with a shoe print/saying of his on them and was just staring at them today thinking about his genius.

  31. Andy Warhol wanted to paint my Mother-in-law. Why she never let him is besides me. I loved going out to Studio 54 and seeing him. He was easy to spot with that hair of his. Love his work.
