I consider Michael Taylor to be a great design icon I am was very pleased to see how his legacy is living on through the work of Michael S. Smith and artists like David Ward. </p><p>Other interesting items in this picture are the carved gilt console which is a treasure from the classical Irish residence Luttrellstown Castle and the wallpaper is Vintage chinoiserie. The house that this room is in, is located in Los Angeles designed by the architect James E. Dolena (1888-1978) and built in the early 30's and now owned by Howard and Nancy Marks. Interestingly it took Michael Taylor ten or twelve trips to Paris, Brussels, London, and New York and dedicated auction sleuthing around the world to gather the beautiful collections for this home. </p><p><a href="http://girlmeetsglamour.blogspot.com/2007/09/my-dreams-run-wild.html"><span style="font-size:78%;">Photo via Girl Meets Glamour</span></a></p>

I had the pictures in my files for awhile and had always liked it but couldn't remember where I had gotten it. To my surprise yesterday the artist, David Ward, who had done the organic stick art on the wall in this very same picture contacted me. I have long been an admirer of Michael Taylor's work and did a retrospective <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/search/label/Michael%20Taylor">posting</a> on his work that showed the room above with his signature trademark, with this same stick art. Also I was recently in the Michael Taylor showroom in Chicago where David Ward has another piece of this artwork. As a designer I have so many images running through my mind on a 24/7 basis that I don't always consciously know the sources for everything. So I think it is quite serendipitous that David contacted me to introduce himself and I was able to piece all these images together, and above all to have found the artist of this fantastic artwork. That is another reason, among many, that I love the blogging world. You make connections that you might never have made. </p><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106897671608682706" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdGjQjU0HXPZ6MR9etGBw1XMb5M20X0f7zkCpveaYcC7tM7sJiZmhkASP0s8cRWBuMzWEAuIpamKJGMZVwHruwy8s94PAIxKN29FRXsC6R5qmERnPSMJQ_3jyh6zMGwHkDWdwQKyF9t1Jc/s400/pr07_02z.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; DISPLAY: block; CURSOR: hand" /> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;">Michael Taylor headquarters designed by Jeffrey Weisman of </span><a href="http://www.fisherweisman.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Fisher Weisman </span></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Stick Art by </span><a href="http://www.sticks-n-stones.net/index.shtml"><span style="font-size:78%;">David Ward </span></a></p><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZu8vtFuJMwqyQ6uHiADxUGKrJeZfEvIDQGAMpG-5HgN6P3E-tEdkZT9BubhYEozo0ZsK7oZkh7UON81yxnWnW0zTUb_RhkwzXgOgyeIJCIqFKjxlyM0RjWMk26pNXIHYTysux0oxN3ByA/s1600-h/lantern.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106897551349598402" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZu8vtFuJMwqyQ6uHiADxUGKrJeZfEvIDQGAMpG-5HgN6P3E-tEdkZT9BubhYEozo0ZsK7oZkh7UON81yxnWnW0zTUb_RhkwzXgOgyeIJCIqFKjxlyM0RjWMk26pNXIHYTysux0oxN3ByA/s400/lantern.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; DISPLAY: block; CURSOR: hand" /></a>This is a lighting fixture that David has just completed for a Tea Bar called Teance in Berkeley California. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.chengdesign.com">Fu Tung Cheng </a>is the designer and owner.

Blissful Chairs

<p>These watercolor renderings are done by Anne Harwell. She has a wonderful blog: <a href="http://annechovie.blogspot.com/">Annchovie, </a><br />where she daily posts her paintings. Anne has a wonderful whimsical approach to capturing the essence of her subject matter. I love her technique and she also has a fetish for chairs as I do, so I feel we are kindred spirits. She takes commissions for paintings. I am commissioning her to do a painting of a home that I designed that was featured in <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.com/ad2006.pdf">Architectural Digest </a>December 2006. Stay tuned I will post this painting of hers when it is completed. There is nothing like a hand painted and hand rendered piece of artwork. I think it is an art form that we need to support and encourage artists like Anne to continue. So please give her your support in whatever way you can. Art and artists are our life blood and they need to be supported and encouraged in their creativity.</p><p>Here are some of her whimsical painting of chairs.<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094350779684363490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Bxz1rSSRf7PgaWBX8Kskf08UBzAh6FIR4l5agoDl8CIOPxbPhBQJMXgXchga_eFBKFQ-P7lx2OO8K1KD0PVCFFj5DVbFB5SOPvWs6aj08AcUrm74rZJVB10n6RBO7bx3qPsQBZyvRY2D/s320/tangerine+elkins+chair+copy.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></p><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094350676605148354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLyD4vpB0dFvdpMa1jl3-TKKfQm78pY1CpNhgQRG2SdEAKglUhyphenhyphenvgVzOVcXrbqWbxWLykVt892oK7KL9PruPi1hSRY1Ajo9HRfSzOloReYjWYmZzFG3-4gcATwYQWFXhn6sZBFSJFaaKh2/s320/scan0018+copy.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTk8t3be2e7HY2McAEn9K6phkZMuKIZSglXQs8nx9jGkEcDgVJU7OZP6XqS4gfDuwGUi2K0Zt-CPQz-DHA_1JoVA4KT7cZl4BfBoUuRPeCzJFOwpqJfE9zE9y4GrI6z1sTZEsR982vaLDv/s1600-h/WPALM+BEACH+PRFCT+copy.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094350904238415106" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTk8t3be2e7HY2McAEn9K6phkZMuKIZSglXQs8nx9jGkEcDgVJU7OZP6XqS4gfDuwGUi2K0Zt-CPQz-DHA_1JoVA4KT7cZl4BfBoUuRPeCzJFOwpqJfE9zE9y4GrI6z1sTZEsR982vaLDv/s320/WPALM+BEACH+PRFCT+copy.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoRZgGIV4tIZxr_gCLxrmxK7WLH56UXY6kKALr3qalyvXjGtE4l6alKJHA1ZkH77UMsKrcWy3nOg6DiDtMEgEEkZNqc-DvNWIuD43V1NyuQjPmyGhwGMPd69IgA-4b20UjU8PakM95f_Mm/s1600-h/trellischair2+copy.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094350835518938354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoRZgGIV4tIZxr_gCLxrmxK7WLH56UXY6kKALr3qalyvXjGtE4l6alKJHA1ZkH77UMsKrcWy3nOg6DiDtMEgEEkZNqc-DvNWIuD43V1NyuQjPmyGhwGMPd69IgA-4b20UjU8PakM95f_Mm/s320/trellischair2+copy.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig0Wi1y2qA7sdRzE_F9qtLgMP6CMLinvlPN4PTPEdhHR5FmN6TmP8NpTchL6v6Ur7z9YFl_DK-2F1JGGtld5PzZgQRLnwJ4hnGovJrZAA7EvUXLmYO8DW_Sjxh49NI6HphVJLiUx5WM90j/s1600-h/scan0020+copy.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094350732439723218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig0Wi1y2qA7sdRzE_F9qtLgMP6CMLinvlPN4PTPEdhHR5FmN6TmP8NpTchL6v6Ur7z9YFl_DK-2F1JGGtld5PzZgQRLnwJ4hnGovJrZAA7EvUXLmYO8DW_Sjxh49NI6HphVJLiUx5WM90j/s320/scan0020+copy.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMUupc_YAXbEp3e3f9FgJ9rsJIRKn_LOSanhZwzMnpESBnwniB07XAV2WCn29A66IO3r6a8qfnYVSYbZg21pZyTyw1-CANFPuZO-VBYeo8fqfd8eaqMd_HXwCGHo_IKlsE-KTUwLMfDGPU/s1600-h/Ann+Harwell.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094350105374497890" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMUupc_YAXbEp3e3f9FgJ9rsJIRKn_LOSanhZwzMnpESBnwniB07XAV2WCn29A66IO3r6a8qfnYVSYbZg21pZyTyw1-CANFPuZO-VBYeo8fqfd8eaqMd_HXwCGHo_IKlsE-KTUwLMfDGPU/s320/Ann+Harwell.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> <div>"Artists help us to see and understand the world around us better."

Paul Grant Cutright - Photographer Extraordinaire

Paul is a dear friend of mine and an exceptionally talented Fine Art Photographer living in heaven - Santa Fe, NM. He works with digital and alternative processes. The first image is a "hand-etched SX-70 Polaroid image". I have no idea how he does it, but I think the technique is pretty amazing. It is so technicolor and very dreamy. I love your work Paul.
