 I Am Painting In The Spirit Of Rural France.

CYPRESS TREES
and...


 Inspiring French salvage surrounds me

 Roses
In old world tones, touched in distressing.
LUXE

 Vintage Linen
Mounted on an antique mahogany floor plank,
nailed in canvas wrapped style.
Tattered with tears and frayed edges, 
painted and sealed for an
heirloom feel.







 Process
Tattered and torn, adding all the rightness to an
aged feel.

French Cottage Spirit

 Burlap Luxe Home Style
Designer/Artiste

Living with a salvaged past and
creating in the French cottage spirit.


A salvaged French 
lantern. 
Decayed and weathered from the
seaside, and purchased from a California, Malibu
cliff-side home remodel.
This exterior veranda lantern, took on years of
sea wash that only a sea breeze and mist
can create rustically.

Painting on salvaged antique mahogany floor
planks.
Vintage linen is mounted and canvas nailed
to the wood plank, then painted in an aged
style of intrigue.


Artist Dore (me) signed,
Callaway


Each linen painting is purposefully tattered,
torn, and frayed. Adding all the rightness
to the look and feel of French cottage
spirit.
  

Tattered


Frayed


Relaxed in romance, where graceful age is
painted.


 I will have 17 linen paintings,
the number of salvaged planks.

Listed soon in my online shop,
etsy.

French Wire Art...Rustic Luxe


Burlap Luxe Art

My art in creating French wire art
CROWNS.


Salvage rusted and decayed tin,
perfect in the use of my tags.
Vintage book word ephemerea
"Europe"

Crown And LampShade

I love the haunting shadow play with wire.
The shade I created to play off my
art and light.


I love the unexpected outcome.
Aged in cartapesta and a patina
of tarnish.

I weave and bend, twist and tie every
inch that goes into creating with
wire.
The chain wire garland, I use a crochet hook and single
crochet a chain woven into the wire.


You can follow my art and home designs on my
instagram account.

White Welcomes Summer Clippings

A washed white of summer is what my home contributes these days.
Unexpected clippings with the leaves capturing the day.

“My soul is awakened"


"Click on photos' to enlarge detail"

I have been taking time to paint soulfully in my corner where paint is always my attention getter.
22" x 15" x 1" on a vintage French hutch door by (me!) Dore L. Callaway

“My soul is awakened,
my spirit is soaring."
~Bronte

This single wild white rose in the company of two buds have been named
"Vie Belle" (Beautiful Life) I am taking some time to paint for myself and allowing my heart to list it to you. Finding this hand painted sign in my peaceful etsy signed artist Dore L. Callaway

L'amour est beaucoup de comme une rose sauvage, belle et calme, mais faisant pour dessiner le sang dans sa défense.

“Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.”

Inspiring, painting how you feel.
