Loving The Work of Holly Irwin




It was a pleasure to get to know Holly Irwin just a bit, when interviewing her for the feature on her paintings in the new issue of House of Fifty. I simply adore her work.


And how nice! I just received a thank you note from Holly along with some beautiful note cards featuring her work. Writing a proper thank you is indeed a dying art when firing off an email is just so much easier. But I'll enjoy pulling these out the next time I've got a few to write myself.

Thank you Holly!
Pin It!

Beautiful work, and I love the colors.

Pretty! I would probably have a hard time giving these cards away. I'd keep it all to myself!

It's amazing to me how a piece of art is created. If you dissect it it looks like splotches of paint but in the big picture it all comes together to be something beautiful. I really admire artists and their techniques.

Beautiful work and the note cards are so lovely and useful too. I love to send and receive thank you notes - you're right an eamail is just not the same.

I want to be as talented an artist as Holly when I grow up!
Thanks Janell for featuring her beautiful paintings...I could stare at them all day!

Beautiful artwork! Love the note cards, too. I decided to take a public speaking class a couple years ago.....a subject I didn't care much for back in my college days. We had to give a demonstration speech and I gave it on "the lost art of writing hand written thank you notes". I love writing them and it is always so special to see that hand written note in your mailbox.

Oh my goodness, her work is stunning. are those note cards sold anywhere?

Janell @ Isabella and Max said...

No, I asked Holly if they were available prior to posting, but at this time she just has them for her own use. Thanks for asking, Janell
