Finally, Friday!

Finally! I've seen the image below a zillion times on sites like Tumblr and weheartit, and every time there hasn't been an accurate reference in sight (people, please reference back to a static page at the very least!)
So it was with a big sigh of relief that I found more work from the artist in question, who I know now to be Kareem Iliya. I assumed that the image above was either a photograph or a digital piece, but I was wrong on both counts. Kareem crafts the most intricate watercolours my little eyes have ever seen! Here's but a few of my favourites from his gorgeous folio.





Dreamy and delicate and oh so pretty - what more could you ask for on a Friday afternoon?

Wait...Friday afternoon?! It's the weeeeekeeeeennndddd! *jig*

What do you all have planned for the weekend ahead? After the outrageously crazy week I've had, I think I'm going to make my way to a beach...and then stay there for a day or two!


P.S. Weekend Reads will be having a little rest too, but shall be back in force in March (i.e. next week - eek, how time flies!)

I love this! I can't stop looking at it!
Have a lovely weekend.

Perfect Friday post :-)
Wow, those are lovely!
That is incredible watercolors! I just love!!!!!
Incredible! I'd love to have a couple of those hanging up in my living room.

My weekend is going to be busy, I'm trying to minimize my material objects, I've already got a few loads of old clothes to bring to Goodwill. But the beach sounds amazing, wish it was nice enough for the beach here!
Kareem is a he not a she...just an FYI. Amazing work from a man. He has amazing ability to capture the essence of a woman.

Oops, thanks Angela! I saw Kareem referenced as a she elsewhere and just went along with the flow, but glad someone is keeping me on my toes!

I can't believe those are all watercolors. What an amazing artist! I can't decide which of the works you have above are my favorite-- i really do love them all for different reasons. Have a wonderful weekend. I'm jealous that you'll be able to enjoy a nice time at the beach. It's totally cold and rainy where I'm at. = (
Absolutely antirumor, but please make sure you reference the original artists if you use them elsewhere. :)
Those watercolours are astonishing! I just discovered your fantastic blog and I love it!
Breathtaking...
Thank you for the introduction to Kareem Iliya. His work is amazing and very inspiring.
