amy bennett

I immediately thought of small scale models when I saw Amy Bennett’s moving little paintings, and sure enough, that’s what they are inspired by – that, and the themes of nostalgia for the past, families, transitions, and loss.  Amy’s themes are so perfectly captured in her paintings that you almost don’t need to read about them.  And I find that very impressive.

I found the photo on the left on decor8 yesterday, and was immediately reminded of the fabric on the right, carried by reprodepot. It’s 99″(over 8 ft) tall so you’d get the same feel as the photo on the left. (Marimekko fabric $115 per 99″repeat.)

While I was checking out reprodepot I found these fabrics too:

From left to right, Kaakaopuu Light Green ($28.90/yd), Dadel Pink (another large pattern, $126 per repeat), and Metsanvaki ($42.60). See these and more here.
