Friday Inspiration: Gerhard Richter

“Art is the highest form of hope.” ~Gerhard Richter

[source: Text for catalogue of documenta 7, Kassel, 1982]

My favoritest artist of all time is Gerhard Richter. When I started my college education, I knew I wanted to paint and draw but I was more drawn to landscapes, people and animals- anything realistic- and knew nothing of abstract, non-linear or contemporary artists.

Liebster Award!

Hip hip hooray! Katie Crafts has been nominated for a Liebster Award! “What the heck is that?” you ask? Well, I’ll tell you. First, let’s define Liebster: it’s German origins tag it as meaning “beloved, sweetheart, darling.” That being said, it’s an award that is given to bloggers by bloggers, to recognize us little guys who are just starting out and/or haven’t made it big yet- those of us who are just darling and deserve for others to know that! My nomination came from the lovely Alison (thank you!) over at Texas Farmer’s Daughter. I’m in love with her blog (and her Etsy shop!) so be sure to check both of them out! Continue reading Liebster Award!

We spent the entire day yesterday {read: 6+ hours} at the Philadelphia Flower Show (and yes, I *did* in fact paint my nails to look like little butterfly wings for the occasion!).
