i heart art: europe







in honor of euroweek and inspired by scoutiegirl's peek into austria yesterday, i thought i'd share a selection of art from some european artists on etsy who are a source of inspiration for me. i was fortunate to visit spain as a teenager, and as an adult took a road trip through germany, the czech republic, hungary and austria. there are so many places i would love to visit in my lifetime, in addition to returning to some of these wonderful countries. but of the places i mentioned, i have a special place in my heart for prague, where i spent a magical couple of days with my boyfriend (who would later become my husband). in any case, i highly recommend visiting that gorgeous city. but what about you? are there any european cities or countries that hold a special place in your memory or heart?

ok, so without furthere ado, i hope you enjoy this selection of images from this enviably talented bunch! from top to bottom: "the day she spoke" by babouchrouge, "le mousquetaire II" by heidiburton, "lucrezia" by felicula, "what's the use" by restlessthings, "tomorrow is your lucky day" by seasprayblue, "millalove's garland of paper flowers" by millalove, "la foret 2" by aliette.
