Art Crush: Amanda Laurel Atkins

Today I want to share these amazing, colorful, vintage-inspired, perfect-in-every-way paintings by Amanda Laurel Atkins. I have a majorly serious crush on Miss Amanda's art right now. I want to write its name in bubble letters in my Trapper Keeper.

The wavy, vintage hair! The tattoos! The wallpapers!

The dresses made of bark! The old-timey parted curtains!

Have you ever seen such lovely paintings in all your days? I can't even begin to decide which print I'd like to own first. She even makes paper dolls.

On top of all of this talent, Amanda also happens to be a perfectly lovely person. You should stop by her blog for a visit.

These are beautiful. Thank you for sharing them. I guess I have a new artist to go on my favorites list now. By the way, my first name is Laurel, so I am happy to at least have that in common with Ms. Atkins. I enjoy your blog a great deal.
