"Sharp Palms" -pve design photos from Florida 2010
While I was down in Florida, I snapped these sophisticated palm trees. The graphic black and white quality certainly did not really remind me of typical sunny tropical temps, however from an artistic point of view I found it very soothing and sharp at the same time. I think Florida is not all about coral and starfish anymore.
I plan on working on a series of palm drawings as I was inspired by their vivid silhouette along with these walls at the W Hotel in the Foyer and Bar of Steak. Thinking of doing this on a hallway in my home. No it is not wallpaper, it was done with a Sharpie. My daughter loved it too.

This was the other wall. They gave me the name of the french artist who did it in 3 weeks. I tried finding him on-line to no avail.
What do you think?
wow those are amazing photos...great job!
ReplyDeleteI think I am in love, that's what I think. With the idea, those palms, that sky, that wallpaper...all of it..

The photos are cool in BW. Loving the sharp palms and alligator skies. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of cool- the walls are really neat. I think this would be neat in your home. I can see by the photo your daughter was enjoying it too. Many hugs... xo
To be frank I think you could do the job yourself! It would be extremely meaningful and well done!
ReplyDeleteA series of beautiful palms that evoke the modern qualities of the palm tree but remind one of the relaxing sun they thrive in...how wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou could so do this! It's fabulous. Just love your photos. They are beautiful. Hope you are well.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful!! I have sketched Palms with pen & ink and love to do the fronds!

ReplyDeleteLoved your black and white pics of the palms. The cloud formations (should I say it--look like snow).
ReplyDeleteWith your talents I am sure you could beautifully create your version of wall at the hotel Have a great day.

It's fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWow! Very interesting. Can't wait to see your illustrations of the palms...
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I think you should try it in your home. Yours could be even better! xx

ReplyDeleteCould be very cool.....

Fantastic photos Mrs. PvE!
ReplyDeleteAs to the walls, I'm reminded (in a good way) of the walls in the men's lounge at Radio City.
That's amazing! You sooo could do that Patricia. Except I suspect yours would be more of a cross between that sharpie beauty and Gracie wallpaper...XXOO
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Amazing that it was done i with a Sharpie! I need to go somewhere I can see palm trees right now. . .
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing! I'm sure yours would look great (and it looks like a fun project if you have the guts!)
ReplyDeleteA sharpie? Stop. I love sharpie but this is beyond anything I could have imagined! I can't wait to see what you do with sharpie in hand!! Marija
ReplyDeleteYou could totally do this! Where in your home are you thinking of tackling such a project? Keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteOh come on! A sharpie???! There are some talented people out there, I must say (you included!). Can't wait to see what you do w. your Palm tree inspiration. ox Mon
ReplyDeleteP.S My house (via you) will get its own post in a few weeks. I'll let you know.
