'Poetically Correct' Photographs Inspired by Taylor Swift's 11th Album The Tortured Poets Department Aesthetic

Hello! BIG updates and retailers to share!

Have you subscribed to my newsletter?  Sign up HERE.

Isn't it remarkable how Taylor Swift inspires millions of fans to create art based on the concept and aesthetic of her albums? !!!  I dove right in too!  I have sifted through my photo archive to find images to compliment each of The Tortured Poets Department tracks 1 - 31.  I enjoyed this process immensely.  I hope you find a piece of wall art to adorn your walls!  

Have a peek at my new collection 'Poetically Correct' here.

Affordable Canadian Wall Art for Interior Designers Working with Clients on a Smaller Budget

Capturing the essence of life, documenting as I go; the quiet beautiful moments or hurried, cinematic scenes of the 'everyday'. Often poetic, sometimes irreverent. I am endlessly inspired by fond memories, lakeside summers, cozy winters, and daydreaming ideas. I play with many mediums and subject matters.

Although I personally live a casual, laid-back lifestyle, I am a Fine Artist who creates modern, ORIGINAL works that add beauty and style to any space. Be it minimalist, eclectic, country or traditional.

I love fresh, quirky, graphic imagery mixed with colourful, folkloric elements, symbolic layers + typography. I digitally blend some of my collected images with my own photography + paintings. They are modern and decorative; perfect for today's contemporary interiors.

SHOP here.

Thank You for decorating your spaces with my art! 

Peace Love Create Art, Patti

NEW Collection of Abstract Paintings "PORT" by Patti Friday

PORT:   

This collection was my way of honoring peoples’ love of the sea. 

During the pandemic of 2020 all access to our beloved 

waterways, cruise ships, beaches and oceans 

were taken away. 

Boating, fishing, swimming and walking near water: 

Forbidden. 

Being near or on water is therapeutic 

and necessary for humans. 

I expressed this loss with paint.

Embassy of Ideas No. 5

Short.  Chatty. Conversational.
A cake recipe.
Things I want to share with you.
News from my gallery shop and studio.
Behind the scenes of my life.

Thank you so much for being here!

Up first!  A message from Claire Ptak (Royal Wedding Cake Baker for Meghan and Harry) 

"Morning! So I created this delicious Citrus and Blossom cake for @sainsburys 150th birthday. It’s pretty cool and it’s available this week! The very first Sainsbury’s store opened in ‪1869 on Drury Lane‬ and sold just three items: butter, milk and eggs (key cake ingredients, so I’m obviously super into that!).
To help celebrate the milestone, I have partnered with Sainsbury’s to create their birthday cake—a Citrus and Blossom cake made using fresh lime, orange blossom water, and crème fraiche (they were also the first supermarket to sell crème fraiche in the UK!).

The cake is available in Sainsbury’s cafés across the UK throughout the 150th Birthday Week (‪20th – 27th May‬) for the special price of £1.50 per slice!" 

Claire's recipe is also online for those who want to recreate it at home! Link here.

Baking for Queen Elizabeth. No pressure at all!

I have been so inspired this past week by the cake Queen Elizabeth ate, the bursting colour of a spice company and the forever blue story of my paintings.  I know that other colours are going to be showcased in my upcoming series of artworks! Stay tuned. For now, there are 5 originals available in my gallery shop right now. 

I learned this lesson in a monumental way in the last 7 days.  
Do you agree with this quote?

Speaking of colour.  I'm a 'Summer'.  Do you know what you are?

Peace Love Create Art Gather ....and cake.

Welcome to Embassy of Ideas No. 4 - My weekly newsletter!

Well Well Well!!! The sun finally showed her face here in Ontario and friends...let me tell you!  Everyone is much happier and friendlier!  I wanted to share a few things that I have been thinking about this past week. 

Do any of you wonder if you are eating the right way?  What eating style do you enjoy most?  I happened upon this book 'Mostly Plants' by Michael J. Fox's family.  It is all about flexitarian eating; mostly plants, occasionally meat.   This might best describe my way of eating.  I rarely eat meat but then all of a sudden I get a big ol' craving for a grilled steak, a roast chicken dinner or a low and slow cooked brisket. Sound like you?

How are you doing?  Did you have a good week?  Oh gosh!  It's the long weekend here!  What are you up to?  I hope you are surrounded by many people you love or are partaking in activities that make you super thrilled and rested. 

Now. Don't. Freak. Out.
What I am about to tell you is true.

I have never tasted quinoa that I can remember anyway.  I know for certain that I have never cooked it myself.  This past week I did and loved it.  Now I am on the hunt for all recipes - all things quinoa.   Like these crispy vegetable burgers.  

For the last few weeks I have been devouring podcasts.  The Goop Podcast has been entertaining and now I am asking everyone:  'Give me your fave podcasts to listen to!'  This might be an addiction in development. 

Could it be that Ms.Silverstreak is waiting for you? Only you!

I didn't actually bake a cake this week.  But I do have a recipe for you honoring this sweet little cake event:  A 2 year old that asks her Daddy for a rainbow cake and he brings one home!!!!  How cute is that? Right?

Here is your rainbow cake recipe.  

Peace Love Create Art Gather ....and cake.
