Hi readers! Happy Friday to you! If you are drooling… then you aren’t too different from me! The fearless use of bold color and design by Birgit Koopsen isn’t too hard to become mesmerized by, and I find myself in awe of all of the elements of layering texture and patterns. I asked Birgit to pick a few of her favorites for us to share on the blog today, and wow, do these pack a punch!

Take a moment to enjoy these fabulous pieces, and be sure to pop by Birgit’s blog for even more inspiration!

Below we’ve shared a few of Birgit’s must have items when she sits down to create! Enjoy this POP of color for Friday!

  1. I just LOVE mixed media! It gives me freedom to create how I’m feeling and allows me to make use of everything art related that I haven’t used yet. Thank you for sharing!

  2. I have a lovely, happy warm feeling after viewing this post and your art work Birgit. Thank you for opening up a new idea, colors and style…your generosity in sharing your talent is so appreciated…and a big thank you to SSS for continuing to bring us phenomenal talent.

  3. These colors and images are so enticing, I keep coming back to the post to let them warm me up over this cold wet weekend.

  4. WOW!! Love the bright pops of colour and these just make me want to go and create some works of art myself!! Unfortunately I’d have to clear everything off my dining table to do it, and then the problem of where to put those things!! Thanks for the inspiration overload!!!
