I guess this isn't a home improvement question, but more of a design question.

We're still working on the Shabby Chic transformation of my bedroom... And aside from wanting to create a mural of birds with a garden feel, I came across this wonderfully shabby chic picture and want to try my hand at something similar. However this is the only picture I can find of it. Has anyone seen this before and do you know of the artist? I'm presuming it dates back to the 1920's, but that's as far as I know.

    Love the picture. Can you incorporate a green and pink color scheme into your room?

    Thanks, Rose - I do too! Yes actually, in that my walls are currently going to be painted a very light soft green. :) Lovely floral profile pic, by the way. :)

    reminds me of the Gibson Girls art. Try googling that

    I think S's model is the same girl from what I see. Can you tell if the artist signature is Gibson or Stanislov?

    Seems S did more nudes and his girls had hats more often

    Thanks again!

    I have to agree with you in that it looks like Gibson or Stanlaws - especially the Saturday evening post covers look a lot like it. I'm not sure about the signature, sorry. That's the biggest copy of the pic I can find and when I zoom, it gets distorted.

    Praise God, I found it! Nichter, you have picked at my brain to get me started on a scavenger hunt which lead me to other sites and artists - and I finally found it under an artist by the name of Earl Christy. You guys are great. :)

    That's great. This was a fun one. I was doing some prowling for a while too.

    I envision a soft pink pillow with some texture to add some "pop" to your bedding if you plan to go all white or offwhite with the bedding.

    I love the green walls! I bet Yamini also would have some great ideas for this picture.

    Thanks Virtually, that sounds great! We're on the same wavelength - as a watercolor like pink is one of the colors I'm considering.

    Thanks, Flowerscapes! Green is one of my favorite colors - it's a very soft green. Yes, I would love any ideas or suggestions for it! :) I'm entertaining the idea of perhaps incorporating her into the bird mural - holding a bird or something of that nature.

    The lady in the picture resembles Drew Barrymore!

    Yes, I believe you're right - she does! I hadn't noticed that before lol! :) I think it's the smile and the way she's tilting her head.
