Leah Saulnier

Today, another post about something completely unrelated to jewelry and accessories. Well. It is an accessory for your house. So maybe I am not so far afield. That is what I will tell myself :)

I stumbled upon Leah Saulnier, The Painting Maniac (as she calls herself), while searching for accessory talent on Etsy. A side note: there are soooo many amazingly talented people on Etsy. I have picked up new designers for Bon Lemon's line. Found cool display racks. And stumbled upon some fabulous art. I heart Etsy.

Leah Saulnier's art is characterized as surrealist. Surrealism is defined as: works that feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur; however, many Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, with the works being an artifact. (My love of social/political debate might explain my interest in surrealism.)

I have never had a sophisticated enough eye or paid enough attention to know what defines good art. Some "good" art looks like crap to me. And some things I see on street corners look like masterpieces. I have always known what I like. (Imagine that...) And Leah Saulnier, I like.

She is working on a farmer painting currently, which especially interested me, because of my favorite 6 Par Farmer. It is coming along nicely and I can't wait to see the finished product. These are three of my favorites: Fetish Nightmare, Playtime in 2050, and Her Wandering Eye
