This month is all about art—the art of entertaining and painting. First we catch up with design star and
avid twitterer/blogger Eddie Ross who recently made an appearance in Little Rock. We then meet artist Eleanor Dickinson at her home studio as she prepares for her upcoming show at Boswell Mourot Fine Art. Don’t miss the opening reception on November 13, 6 p.m.-10 p.m. Her work, inspired by her extensive travels, is fantastic.
A visit to painter Kathy Strause’s enviable Capitol View nest (and chickens’ nest) left us totally inspired. Hanging out there feels like being inside one of Kathy’s marvelous paintings.
In Inspired Buy, we invite you on a “camp-in,” as we show you cozy, rustic home accessories with an outdoor theme.
On the beauty and fashion fronts, Lila Ashmore brings us clothes for the upcoming holiday season that are prêt-à-par-tay, causing party girls all across the metro area to cry in unison “Too cute!”
CORRECTION: Egg on my face—in our coverage last month of Habitat for Humanity’s fundraiser Restore & After, I mistakenly identified a chicken painting as the work of artist Barry Thomas, whose work actually was not included in the auction. The chickens were, in fact, painted by Lori Weeks.

Like her paintings, Kathy Strause’s home tells a story. Before she bought this 1920s Capitol View bungalow several years ago, it had been owned
by the same family for generations. A couple raised their five children within its six modest rooms, and evidence of their presence still exists—whether in a doorjamb rubbed bare by countless hands or a photograph of the twin boys who lived here through adulthood. But while Kathy has an obvious rev-erence for the past, she also infuses her surroundings with humor and her unique artistic sensibility.
On this day, all the windows are thrown open and an early autumn breeze stirs the curtains. Kathy’s partner, musician David Jukes, sits on the front porch stringing a guitar while two robust looking chickens scratch in the backyard garden. Kathy presents me with an egg from the chickens’ coop, and I marvel at its smooth perfection. The following page shows but some of the other small wonders that lie in wait in this distinctive abode.

Kathy and David had to do little in the way of renovation. Here, the original hardwood floors warm up an already cozy living room.
A wild yet cultivated garden welcomes visitors, and the front porch makes the perfect spot for chatting.

(Clockwise from top) Kathy discovered the original wallpaper behind the stove and left it exposed; the bedroom and office abound with books and art and offer a mix of old and new; little altars everywhere—a Buddha keeps watch and instills calm; the artist poring over old photographs in her airy attic studio.

These booTs were made for walkin’a peripatetic painter and her travels
When we arrive at Eleanor Dickinson’s light-filled stu-
dio in the Heights, we’re promptly greeted by two doe-eyed dogs, one with gesso splattered on her tail—wagging proof that we’ve entered an artist’s terrain.
Dickinson landed back in Arkansas about five years ago via a circuitous route, one that took her from Atlanta to Chicago with a stop along the way in Knoxville to get her Master’s. Traveling, however, is something this artist loves and knows well. She’s trekked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, explored the Annapurnas in Nepal and climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. All of her journeys inform her wondrous art, some of which will be on exhibit at Boswell Mourot Fine Art, November 13-December 4.
CUE: I know that you love to travel and to take photos, but do you also take a sketchbook with you?
Eleanor Dickinson: It’s funny. You’d think I would take a sketchbook, but I discover that I am either too busy or too tired on the trip to sketch. My trips don’t usually involve a lot of downtime. Photos, for me, are more useful because they capture more visual information for future use—and they can be taken quickly. I also col-lect various scraps along the way to refer to later—train schedules, maps, tickets, brochures, candy wrappers, postcards, etc. On the other hand, when an idea for a painting comes to me that I don’t want to forget, I will sketch a thumbnail on a scratch piece of paper.
CUE: You’ve worked in many mediums—photography, painting, printmaking—and often combined them. Is there one that you feel particularly wedded to?
ED: I don’t necessarily think of my photography as
one of my mediums. I think of it as a library that holds an infinite number of possibilities that I can use throughout my lifetime—my visual vocabulary from which I can pick and choose.
My training is with printmaking and graphic design which both significantly inform my work. But without painting and drawing, I would not even be the artist I am.
Painting and printmaking are inseparable in my world because I rarely use one without the other. Whether I am screening and painting on a canvas or I am painting on a plate and then drawing on the print, I am drawn to the effects they have on one another.
CUE: You’re obviously inspired by travel, the natural world and your surroundings. What artists have inspired you?
ED: Picasso for sure—20,000 works in his lifetime. His primitive art, drawings and sketches are my favorite. I am attracted to Basquiat’s madness/spontaneity, Picasso’s diversity, Amadea Bailey’s textures and Shawn McNulty’s use of color and layers.
CUE: Can you describe the different processes you use in your work?
ED: Screenprinting: I create stencils from my drawings and burn them into a frame of fine-mesh fabric. Then I pull ink across the screen with a squeegee which transmits an even coating of ink to the paper or canvas. I love this because it gives my work a graphic element, and I can reuse the images in different ways in my paintings.
Monoprinting: I paint an image on a piece of plexi glass using watercolor paint and crayons. I then wait for the image to dry, dampen a piece of paper, place the paper on the plate,
and crank these through my etching press. The dampened paper reactivates the watercolors thus transferring the image to the paper. Then I have a unique print of my painting. Why not just paint onto the paper? I can achieve various washes and a different treatment of light that
cannot be created otherwise. Also this process possesses an element of surprise that I really enjoy.
Colograph: I cut shapes out of cardboard and shellac them. Then I ink them up with akua waterbased intaglio inks. Then I turn them upside down on the paper and send them through the press. The effect is a significant embossment which adds more interest to my art.

ArtThe Fine Arts Club of Arkansas* recently
hosted its annual fundraiser, The Art of Entertaining, at the Arkansas Governor’s Mansion. This year the presentation and lun-cheon featured designer and lifestyle expert Eddie Ross, a former associate decorating editor of House Beautiful and former senior style editor of Martha Stewart Living. Ross and partner Jaithan Kochar (pictured above) now run a lifestyle company, Eddie Ross, Inc., that offers advice on living la vida stylish.
Before meeting up with the nattily dressed Eddie at a lovely pre-party, we caught up with him en route. We briefly talked flea market finds, our shared love of Lonny and what it’s really like working with Martha Stewart (okay, he kept mum on this subject, though not the subject of mums). Here’s our abbreviated Q&A:
CUE: WhaT’s yoUr mosT ExCiTing flEa markET find To daTE?EddiE ross: A gold leaf bamboo mirror I found at a Goodwill in upstate New York.
CUE: Who or WhaT inspirEs yoU? Er: I’ve always loved Bill Blass, beautiful old antiques and books and magazines from the ’20s and ’30s.
CUE: WhaT’s onE of yoUr favoriTE bEforE-and-afTEr projECTs?Er: I found a secretary and transformed it simply by painting it white and putting mirroring where the glass was. It made the entire piece new again. As I always say, when in doubt, paint it out!

Nothing polishes off a party girl look more than an up-do coif. Whether it’s a sleek chignon or a messy side bun, a change of hairstyle can set the tone for your entire holiday ensemble.
Kati Wade of Salon Avatar demonstrates the technique for a traditional yet simple “up-do.” After a ponytail is secured in place, sections are then curled around and pinned to create a hair style that will last the entire evening. This service takes from 30 minutes to an hour to complete, and prices start at $30.
Alana Hardin of Blush Salon takes the chair for an easy, swept-up, messy up-do for her holiday look. Stylist Heather Young curls Alana’s hair with a wide wand curling iron to give her a more controlled curl. Allow 30 minutes to an hour for this service and come with day old hair. Prices start at $35.
Instant Glow
By the time holiday parties begin, that summer glow has turned pasty white. The pros at Indulgences by Body Bronze have the equipment and knowledge to give party girls an ooh-la-la look for the season. The spray-on tan technique takes about 30 minutes for application, and prices begin at $49. The spray tan lasts anywhere from 5-7 days, and for best results, party girls should exfoliate, shower and shave before spray tan is applied. Upkeep is simple—just use a mild soap and moisturize twice daily for longevity. Indulgences is offering a buy 3 get 2 free special for $147.

BY Katherine WyricK PhotograPhY brian chilson
Every morning, the air outside Botanica Gardens is redolent with bacon as neighboring Buffalo Grill preps for the day.
There is, perhaps, no one who appreci-ates this more than Pat Isbell’s dog, Izzy, a two-year-old Brussels Griffon. Isbell, store manager of Botanica, tells us that the smell, though he loves it, nearly drives poor Izzy to distraction. He’s like Tantalus—the fruit right before him but forever out of reach.
Long-legged as a side table and bearded like Freud, Izzy emerges from behind the counter with his head cocked inquisitively and his docked tail wagging. He possesses at least two traits that make for a superlative shop dog; he has a sweet disposition and rarely barks. Like garden statuary, Izzy often sits poised on the counter while awaiting his public.
“I have customers who come by just to see him after they have lunch. It’s not uncommon for some to even bring their friends to see him. And our bank has actually unlocked the doors before they open if we come by. It’s hysteri-cal,” says Pat.
She recalls how when Izzy was a pup, Botanica owner Chris Olsen would sit at
his drawing table in the morning with Izzy zipped up inside his jacket. It’s safe to say he’s a snuggler—and an extrovert. “He’ll go home with anybody,” says Pat with a wave of her hand. “He’s the most loving dog.” So averse is he to being alone, Izzy even comes down to work when Pat goes out of town.
Should he ever stray from the shop, however, the staff knows the protocol—and where to find him. “If he goes missing, we’re on lockdown,” explains a co-worker. She relates a time that Izzy went missing only to be found later at the Cross-eyed Pig, a barbecue place a few doors down. (What? He was just getting take-out.)
When not at the shop (or dining at the Cross-eyed Pig), Izzy enjoys watching TV and charging at the screen when dogs appear. “He knows the commercials!” Pat laughs. At the moment, however, he’s watching his adoring owner. “Say, ‘I have the prettiest eyelashes you’ve ever seen!’ Yes, I do!” she coos. And, yes, we have to agree, he does; they’re long and lush as a diary cow’s. But when he coyly bats those lashes your way, don’t think for a minute you’re his one and only; he has a knack for making everyone feel special.
