not your average domestic goddess.
i just love these paintings from artist kelly reemsten. i mean, c’mon, you might not really think of chainsaws and fancy dressed-up domestic divas in the same sentence, but these really work. kelly calls her paintings, “a celebration of dress and adornment of the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies”. the unexpected quirkiness and combination of every day tools, and retro style fashion just make me smile. for more information on kelly reemtsen’s work, check out her bio here.

these paintings are stunning. i imagine a wall and 3 or 4 of them in a row. my favorites are yellow bubbles and gold dress in her gallery. the little ring on the woman’s hand is such a cute detail.
