i love to see little snippets of life behind an artist’s work. when i discovered rebekka seale’s watercolor illustrations, i almost fainted from the southern sweetness dripping from them. they are light and airy, quiet and quaint.

when i stumbled across oana befort’s work and blog, my heart strings felt a big ‘ol tug. sometimes you can just tell when someone has a similar spirit, it’s like they see beauty in the same way that you do. i always love it when artists give a sneak peek into their sketchbooks, and i enjoyed oana’s so much that i thought you might as well!

take some time to visit oana’s website and blog for more stunning work, and connect with her on twitter and facebook, too!
