CATS Memory

Organizing my closet I came upon a vintage Cats tee that has been with me since forever. It was from a special night out downtown with my lovely grandmother when I was a little girl and my first musical. Truly it was the beginning of my love for urban landscapes, city life and the Arts.

"Let Beauty Loose"

© Leigh Viner 2011

Beauty is ever to the lonely mind
A shadow fleeting; she is never plain.
She is a visitor who leaves behind.
The gift of grief, the souvenir of pain. ~Robert Nathan

"Beauteous Refined"

18x24 oil on canvas

I have the 2nd oil painting to finally share with you which is for my client and exhibition in London, I had to go through some touch ups and yes with oils it is a patient process. ( a good lesson for a slightly impatient person as myself). This one was based on a beauty shot from the talented Jan Welters. I am going through some of my favorite photographers for this entire series, so honestly I am more then anxious and excited to get going on the third.

Also with the cat and mouse game of trying to get caught up on this oh so amazing busy month that is December, . I am still not done with shopping for Christmas, but today woke up to at least 10 inches of snow here in Denver, the car is staying put and a hot long bath instead.. of course..

Hope you are all having a wonderful week...

I love a wrap dress, for many reasons, comfort being at the top of the list along with style.

Speaking of wrapping, I best get to shopping for Christmas before there is nothing to wrap! (yikes)...Yes every year, last minute!

Antique shopping Antique Shopping in Paris: A Guided Tour of the Marché Aux Puces




Pardon the dust, I have been absent with a crazy schedule getting ready for the Holidays, work and in the midst of redesigning my blog, so do not be surprised to see a few changes each time you visit. I had changed it a few months ago and was just not feeling it, to which I switched back and found out something went wrong when I published it and caused some serious panic trying to fix.. But good news has come of it and I admitted I cannot be everything at once and decided to make it official and hire my first intern, (Joy!!) The Lovely Brittany from Gallery No. Eight.

I actually mentioned on Twitter a few weeks ago that I needed one and she came immediately to my rescue. So Brittany, I am beyond happy to have you!!

In the meantime, I wish you all a lovely weekend and enjoy a mental getaway to Paris! ;)

(btw) I finally caved and joined Pinterest, your right addicting and fun!

Collaboration with Creem Magazine

Hello lovelies, I hope your weekend is going well, what are you up too?

I wanted to share with you my work for Creem Magazine. This is the 2nd time I have teamed up with the talented Jenn Cress who is the editor and chief of the magazine and an amazing photographer. Here is our other project this year for 303Magazine.

For this project I illustrated Carla Sozzani of 10 Corso Como, Sarah Lerfel of Colette and Carol Lim of Opening Ceremony for an interview feature.

The magazine will be available at Barnes and Noble on December 7th and various other magazine stands throughout the US.

It was an honor to work with you again Jenn and all involved, thank you for getting me on board!!
