WHAT I APPRECIATE ABOUT NAOKOS WORK:
I love the sweet simple themes, the vivid colors, and the whimsical mood to her pieces. She challenges me to want to take out my paintbrushes and watercolors and get going! Thanks, Naoko. :)
What do YOU appreciate about Naoko's work?
I absolutely adore her work!
ReplyDeleteI love the sweetness of the work. Very peaceful.
ReplyDeleteNaoko is one of my earliest Etsy favourites. I love the simple and clean lines, punches of colour (oh that red) and the subtle textures that add a whole new dimension...
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore how she incorporates the wood grain into the composition of her illustrations and how subtle and beautiful her color choices are. The two "newspaper" bunnies are too cute ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beautiful. My favorite (from this blog post) is the top picture. I hope to soon have a baby and would love this for a nursery. Thank you so much for sharing! And thank you, Naoko, for sharing your art!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet and great composition. I love the multi media use of newspaper clippings for the bunnies :)
ReplyDeleteHer paintings make me smile!!

ReplyDeletei happened upon Naoko's work a couple of years ago and have been collecting pieces (as well as giving them as gifts to family and friends) ever since. her wonderful sense of whimsy and innocence is refreshing in this hectic world. a lovely tribute to her!
ReplyDeleteI have to say I love the softness of the colors; even the brighter colors are peaceful.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors, the whimsy, the bunnies and the birds, the clouds, and just about everything. Naoko's work has it all and makes me smile. thanks for sharing this delightful art!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all of your sweet comments for Naoko everyone! I love seeing your input here! :)
ReplyDeletei especially enjoy the illustrations that still show the paper beneath. super cute balance.
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I enjoy how she "upcycles" materials and her whimsical, joyful style.
ReplyDeleteAw, I just love the precious birds!
ReplyDeleteI loved all of them. So fresh, and loved the little bunny. I was born and lived in Brooklyn for many years and dated a guy from Prospect Park area. Nice to know so many talented people come from "Brooklyn".
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the soft simplicity of line coupled with small details - the shadows are nice. And those bunnies are so cute!
