Sally King Benedict

Sally Benedict is a true Southern belle I met once years ago but felt like I'd known forever. Not a Shirley MacLaine past-life situation, but close. She's also a SUPER talented artist whose works have this Rothko meets Twombly quality with Tidewater-twilight coloration (she's from Atlanta but studied in Charleston): wouldn't the abstracts below look right at home in Todd Romano's fabulous showroom? I think so. Some of these have already sold but check her site for other canvases and works on paper. Brava, Sally!

  7. I love Cy Twombly. I think you need this bag (I use mine all the time) - Bacchaus Book Bag.

    Nice post!

  8. It would be so easy to knock off that Cy Twombly bag, wouldn't it? Talk about low-hanging fruit.

  9. Wonderfully playful and soothing at the same time.
    I of course love anyone with the name "Sally" as my sister is a Sally too.
