Karen Appleton

While following the breadcrumbs of inspiration this afternoon (oh my! it's already 2pm?!) I came upon Karen Appleton's sweet and luxurious paintings. She is in love with bows and I so admire her obsession and devotion to such an interesting subject matter! I can just imagine each and every package waiting to be opened and undone. I also really enjoy her paintings of purses - perhaps her theme centers around the hidden? Absolutely stunning work!

And, with it now being November (!) I'm already starting to get into that gift-giving frame of mind - these decadent packages are just helping my sugar plum dreams along :) It's always fun to bring a hostess gift wrapped up in the most extravagant way!

You can check out Karen Appleton's work on her website and her blog.
