Today I&#8217;m looking at the wonderfully whimsical, colourful and spring inspired work of Katie Daisy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Katie Daisy is a freelance illustrator originally from Illinois who uses both watercolour and acrylic paints to create illustration and lettering pieces. I&#8217;ve actually admired her work once before &#8211; I <a href=\"http:\/\/natushi12.tumblr.com\/post\/25712012945\/artpixie-rise-shine-by-katiedaisy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reblogged one of her pieces<\/a> on my tumblr blog in June last year. It wasn&#8217;t till someone recently posted about her work that I checked out her portfolio and was amazed by her lovely paintings and pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-4787 size-full\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_LiveWithPassion.jpg\" alt=\"Favourite Artists - Live with Passion by Katie Daisy\" class=\"wp-image-4787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_LiveWithPassion.jpg 800w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_LiveWithPassion-150x120.jpg 150w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_LiveWithPassion-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_LiveWithPassion-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_LiveWithPassion-153x122.jpg 153w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Live with Passion<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-4784 size-full\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"570\" height=\"712\" src=\"https:\/\/www.natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_FloralPiece.jpg\" alt=\"Favourite Artists - Floral Piece by Katie Daisy\" class=\"wp-image-4784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_FloralPiece.jpg 570w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_FloralPiece-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_FloralPiece-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_FloralPiece-98x122.jpg 98w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><figcaption>Floral Piece<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-4786 size-large\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"880\" height=\"633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_IAmSafeAndSecureInMyWorld-880x633.jpg\" alt=\"Favourite Artists - I am safe and secure in my world by Katie Daisy\" class=\"wp-image-4786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_IAmSafeAndSecureInMyWorld-880x633.jpg 880w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_IAmSafeAndSecureInMyWorld-150x108.jpg 150w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_IAmSafeAndSecureInMyWorld-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_IAmSafeAndSecureInMyWorld-768x552.jpg 768w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_IAmSafeAndSecureInMyWorld-170x122.jpg 170w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_IAmSafeAndSecureInMyWorld.jpg 953w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><figcaption>I am safe and secure in my world<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve fallen in love with her work for a number of reasons. Her use of bright, warm colours and whimsical sayings make me feel so uplifted every time I look them. I also love the small added details in her lettering and the obvious inspiration from nature itself. The paintings seem quite simple at first glance but if you look closer you always find lots of small touches. I think another reason her work resonates with me is that it reminds me of the floral pieces my nan paints, which <a title=\"April Birthday Cards\" href=\"http:\/\/www.natashabarr.com\/blog\/made-by-me\/april-birthday-cards\/\">I&#8217;ve written about before<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-4783 size-full\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"585\" height=\"731\" src=\"https:\/\/www.natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_FloralHouse.jpg\" alt=\"Favourite Artists - Floral House by Katie Daisy\" class=\"wp-image-4783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_FloralHouse.jpg 585w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_FloralHouse-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_FloralHouse-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_FloralHouse-98x122.jpg 98w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><figcaption>Cute house!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-4782 size-large\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"813\" height=\"880\" src=\"https:\/\/www.natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_ampersand-813x880.jpg\" alt=\"Favourite Artists - Ampersand by Katie Daisy\" class=\"wp-image-4782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_ampersand-813x880.jpg 813w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_ampersand-139x150.jpg 139w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_ampersand-277x300.jpg 277w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_ampersand-768x832.jpg 768w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_ampersand.jpg 880w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_ampersand-113x122.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 813px) 100vw, 813px\" \/><figcaption>Ampersand<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-4785 size-full\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_FloralPiece2.jpg\" alt=\"Favourite Artists - Floral Painting by Katie Daisy\" class=\"wp-image-4785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_FloralPiece2.jpg 720w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_FloralPiece2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_FloralPiece2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/natashabarr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/2013\/02\/KatieDaisy_FloralPiece2-122x122.jpg 122w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption>Floral Painting<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check out more of Daisy&#8217;s artwork on her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.katiedaisy.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">portfolio<\/a>.
