Alphonse Mucha

I am so in love with this artist. His work is amazing. I was introduced to his work when I was in Port Jefferson one day at an art gallery. This one to be exact http://imaginegallery.ifp3.com/. Not from Long Island? Not familiar with Port Jefferson? Well it's a small town on the North Shore of Long Island next to the Long Island Sound. It has many small shops and restaurants. I practically grew up there when I was younger. I love it there because it has so many great memories for me, new and old. http://www.portjeff.com/
Off topic for a second, my two favorite places to eat there are http://toastcoffeehouse.com/ and http://ruvorestaurant.com/

Ok so back to how I came to love Alphonse Mucha, while I was at the art gallery I saw this painting by Viktor Shvaiko called "Les Noces de Jeannette." It was stunning !

If you look close at the blue building on the left you will see some of Alphonse Mucha's work. So from there I was interested. I looked up more of his work and immediately fell more in love. The posters and paintings are gorgeous. Here are some of my favorites, some.








I'd love to have a tattoo of his work on me but I am not one for large tattoos on myself. I feel that would be the only way to do his work justice. So maybe for now I will frame some of his works and put them in my office.

Lipstick messages

Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fabulous. At this point of my age, it's just another year older. Nothing monumental, not a new decade, nothing to go crazy about.... But it got me thinking about when my sisters and I were younger, (and anyone else who may have lived here from time to time) my mom would write lipstick messages on our bathroom mirror. Most of the times it would say "Happy Birthday" to us. And if I was having a terrible week , it would be something encouraging like "I love you, have a great day." Well, I definitely miss my lipstick messages. I wish when they were written, we had Facebook or Instagram. What a cool thing to have captured. Here is a picture of what one may have looked like, not ours, but similar.
