I have shown you the work of Dutch Touch Art once before in a post, a huge and spectacular floral painting that is mesmerizing in its luminous detail and size. Dutch Touch Art first captured my attention at the tail end of my design career and my second thought was "where were they when I needed them most?' Of course my first thought being " their work is incredible" and as you browse through their website you will see what I mean. Picture their collection of florals, still life, animals, and portraits in a modern or traditional setting and you will appreciate that their oil paintings have a unique quality that makes them perfect for either direction. This French Alphabet Series is a more humble series for this company know for their lush, old world oil paintings (and I mean lush), but I thought they were simply charming. Wouldn't they be adorable in a sophisticated nursery? The company was originally founded in The Netherlands but opened a New York and Los Angeles showroom in 2000 run by mother-daughter team Barbara von Schreiber and Shawn Silver. They have an interesting new artist addition to their collection that I will show you in an upcoming post. Though only available to the trade, the company would be more than happy to help direct you should you fall in love in one of their paintings. Many of their paintings are available in several sizes and many of them dramatically oversized which can be a bonus in adding visual drama to interiors.

Hi Sande, hope things are going a bit better with your dad. This is beautiful and I didn't know of it at all, so I've learned something today. Come see what we're doing over at my place, maybe you'll join us next week. xx's
ReplyDeleteThey really are so charming. On my way to check out the site! Continued good thoughts for your Dad, Sande. Hope is getting stronger with each day.

Hi Sande,
ReplyDeletebeautiful pictures!!!
Greetings from Germany Sabine
It reminds me of a book I have: A French Alphabet Book of 1814. Have you seen that one? I think you would like it! It is a set of watercolors executed by Arnaud Bourdier de Beauregard, a French noble, for his young nephew. I saw it in Bergdorf Goodman. I found it charming, and I would not be surprised to find it was an inspiration for these. They look truly nearly identical. Now I have to get the book to see, and then click over to see these on that site.
ReplyDeleteHope your dad is on the mend.
Best, always,
Stephanie
Hi Sande,

Prayers are very comforting and pleased to hear that your Dad is doing better. Said a prayer for you and him.

Those are lovely. I had hoped that they were gift wrap - I'd pair them with thick black velvet ribbon. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteHoping your father is feeling better by the time you read this. xx
ReplyDeleteThese prints are wonderful. I LOVE things oversized - especially when it comes to art.
Hope you have a nice weekend ahead.

Really lovely, Sande. They remind me of illustrations in some Edwardian children's books.
ReplyDeleteHope all's well with you, Sande and that your Dad continues to improve.I suspect that you will be quite weary if you are visiting often. Look after yourself, won't you ? XXXX
WOW Sande, this is an incredible source, thank you for sharing. I am a huge fan of portraits; you will see why when you see the next post or two on the house :) They take me back to the Louvre... I forgot to mention how much I love the photo of your parents; my best wishes to your parents and I'm so glad your Dad continues to get stronger! xxoo Andrea
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea, they would be ideal in a sophisticated nursery! I just love this artwork.
