A bit of whimsy

It has to be fun. Whimsy and wonder are important. Keeping things light makes it easier for people to look at them.

Earlier this week I received a package in the mail that I was really excited about.  Remember my Mister Owl...


Well, I had heard about Zazzle and found out I could get my own artwork printed up and made into an iPhone case.  Of course, my iPhone is a bit narrower than my original Mister Owl, so I had to crop off one of his wings in order to get all the wording in.  This is the result...


If you look really close, you might see (or not see), that it's printed on a durable fabric.  It's so cool to have my own artwork on my iPhone like it is.  I love it!

Mr. Cottage and I went to the Venice Art Show today.  For whatever reason, we have never been to this show before and decided to check it out.  It was held on main street in Venice and had a rather nice selection of art to choose from.  We found a photo that we just fell in love with...


The minute I saw this I could picture it hanging in our bathroom up at our cottage in Michigan.  It will be hung right across from the toilet.  This was produced by John Hartung of Art That Smiles.  His art really does make you smile.  I LOVE whimsical works of art!  How about you?
