with the overcast skies of los angeles looking down upon me this morning, i was thinking about how this type of weather usually makes people depressed. actually, many of my friends who live overseas just ooze with envy when i say that i'm from los angeles... the land of never ending sunshine. perhaps i'm spoiled by the beautiful weather here + won't appreciate it until i move away from it, but honestly, i long for seasons. to see the leaves change color in autumn, to witness the first snow fall, the lively colors of spring.... but i don't like hot summers. that is one season i can do without. oh! wait, i take that back. i love cold, crisp, juicy watermelons in the summer. ohhh yes. but looking past all this, the cloudy skies actually make me happy because it breaks up the pattern of blue-ness and brings a fresh new feeling that would otherwise be forgotten.
coming across illustrator
eleonora marton's work was just that... a break in the usual mix of work that i had been viewing as of recent. something about the aesthetic i long for... maybe it's the part-traditionalist side in me that is connecting to her humanistic hand drawings or her whimsical sense of style that tickles my tummy. beautiful work that just brings you into another world and yet familiar. it was the cloudy skies that i was hoping for in the mist of blue skies. just lovely~
maybe you are longing for a change of pace also?
