An aqua room in summer-new art from Color Bakery.

When you live in Vermont, you learn that the winters are very long–at least six weeks longer than they have to be. When Glen (my husband) and I first moved up here, we were struck by the amount of swimming pools we saw–seems every house, or almost every house, had a swimming pool. “How odd!” I thought. “Such a cold place, yet they have pools.” Now I know why: the summer is so short, and so precious up here, that they are committed to really enjoying it as much as they can, and squeezing out every sundrenched day. Even in the start of autumn when you feel the first chill, people in Vermont are defiant and won’t wear sweatshirts or jackets. You’ll still see them walking around in shorts and tank tops, as if their clothing choices can hold the winter at bay.  I must admit to having the winter blues, so I decided to make a cheerful summer scene through the vantage point of a window.

I am nuts over aqua. If I had my way, the whole world would be painted aqua and purple and then all would be well. Here’s an aqua summer window scene, new to our Vintage Gallery.  It’s called, “Marcie’s Window”. You can order this image custom on all of our products. (Click here to visit our ecommerce store.)

New stained glass art from Color Bakery.

Color Bakery has new art nouveau stained glass art that can be ordered custom on all our products. People ask me if, when printed on glass, if they will light up. The answer is yes. They won’t allow extensive light as they are not transparent…however, they are luminescent and direct lighting behind them will give the artwork a beautiful ambient glow. Even though they are gorgeous on glass, they can be ordered on any of our products–from clocks to serving trays to tote bags. Just type the name of the image into the empty field as you load your cart.

Beautiful jewelry stock photography

My brother-in-law is not only a great guy who I love, but he’s also an amazing photographer. Joe has had an upscale jewelry photography studio in Manhattan for years, J Gold and Co Photography. For years, Joe has taken amazing photos for companies like Neiman Marcus, JC Penney, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdales and Zales. His discerning artist’s eye for color, texture and composition can make even the most mundane object a work of art.

I am thrilled that he’s now offering his fabulous works for stock use. The name of his site is Jewelry Stockshots and not only are the images beautiful, but they are reasonably priced and–the best part–unlike other stock photo places, there are no restrictions on use. Usually these places have ten pages of legalese and lists of things you can’t do with the photos, but not this site. Check out a couple of his images (my personal favorites) below.

Seeds from the Sun-Abstract Sunflower Art

The newest from Color Bakery. About three days after I put it online, a lady ordered it as a glass mural. We just put it together tonight and it is SO lovely. This piece is really made for glass.  This art is available for all our custom products–from glass tiles to glass clocks to serving trays to table linens. Just enter “Seeds from the Sun” in the blank field when filling your cart in our ecommerce store.

Purple flapper meets purple butterfly.

The newest Color Bakery original art piece is from a new web design I am doing for a dear client and friend. I loved the graphic so much I decided to offer it on Color Bakery. Mix one part art deco with two parts purple and one part grunge and you have “Carpe Diem”, a bold and empowering visual that works so well on our products.

If you would like to order this image on any of our products,  just type “Carpe Diem” in the blank field where it says “Color Bakery image” as you load your cart.

New art pattern, “Birdcalls”

If your heart is moved by the beauty of nature’s bounty, this pattern is perfect for you–whether we print it on a back splash, a clock or a serving tray. “Birdcalls” is the newest addition to our Pattern Gallery, and, like all Color Bakery artwork, is available for custom printing on all our products.
