Do you happen to know these cats?
The lovely minimalism in her work is a breath of fresh air. You can tell she lives "in a place where you can still see the stars at night and cats run free." Her work is dripping with a pretty, simpler life.

could i really be the first to comment? well I sort of hope I'm the one and only, so that I win. but not likely since these prints are absolutely a-dor-a-ble!!! oh and my fav is the strawberries as well.
Oh, I love, love, LOVE the Dutch bike! I grew up in the Netherlands and my oma actually had a bike exactly like this, with black saddle bags on the back. She rode it every day into town to get her daily groceries. I would borrow it when I came to visit and was always amazed that she had no idea that her brakes were completely shot – she always rode so slowly, they worked just fine for her ;)
i'm taken will all of her produce as well! so much talent. the strawberries are my favorite though because of all the varying hues between the berries.

i love how this reminds me of grade school and how carefree we were painting the simplest things. you always seem to have the best finds mrs. french! love your posts :D
Omg! I must have those cats! The Star Gazers are my favourite I think... Hmm, or maybe Riding in the Rain, so hard to choose!
Her fruit prints are just so delightful. My walls are in need of one of these pretties.
Those bikes! They would have to be my favorite.
It's a tie between the cyclist and the strawberries. You've inspired me to break out the watercolors and let my creatively run wild!
Happy Birthday Mrs. Frenchie! What a sweet way to celebrate! I also can't wait to see what señor french has in store for you!
i think jamie might already know that i love all the things she does...i do love those oranges up there and am dreaming of owning another one in particular as well...
Oh, how wonderful! What a lovely thing for your birthday! The strawberries one is adorable and the kitties in the sleeping bags! Those are my favorites! Happy birthday again my darling!

I love the strawberries! They're so cute! The works remind me of Quentin Blake. Love them!
Thanks for this giveaway (and for allowing us to admire the artwork!)
I love the piece titled "Spazov". The mix of serious Russian in such a whimsical style is irresistible!
I love Dutch. The bicycle is so simple and classic.
Happy Birthday again!

Oh how I ADORE "Star Gazers", with the two little lovelies in sleeping bags. It looks like my two kitties Arne and Baby Kitty. I had to leave them in Seattle when I moved to San Francisco and I miss them everyday. Whenever I am up visiting them I always find them fighting over who gets to sleep in my bed. Sigh.
Oh my goodness, so precious! I love the puss on the bike!
I love the clementine - such a perfect print for the kitchen!
Happy Birthday!
I'm definitely a fan of the "Dutch" print - what a cute bike!
what a lovely giveaway!! i think my favorites are dutch and rainbow stripes... both are so amazing!! love his work! xo
My favorite in Jamie's shop is 'Coffee time'. I find it really cute and I love the expression of the characters.
But all the prints are delightful!
the strawberries are adorable!!!
Oh, they are all so cute, but I think I like the "Riding in the Rain" one the best! I would appreciate any of them, though!
oh those fruit ones are great! So cheery..perfect for kitchen or kids room.
Those strawberries would look so good in my kitchen. Hope i win.
oh good. i love the strawberries best! they are perfect perfect perfect and are going on my wishlist right now.
i really love jamie's artwork and blog and have been checking in there for awhile. i think the cat biking in the rain is my favorite because it reminds me of my husband who always rides his bike even when it's raining :) but i'd take the strawberries anyday too!
The clementines are beautiful. I love the semi-transparent leaves.
I really love the produce prints! it's so hard to pick one.

i can't decide if i like Clementine Trio, Biff said candy canes and candy canes it was, the warden gave his permission, or Parisian Opera Goer. or maybe i love them all.
My favorite has to be Star Gazers. Partly because the drawing reminds me of my insane cats, partly because it reminds me of me and my boyfriend (we met in astrophysics class). I've been in love with Jamie's work for some time now. {fingers crossed}
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
oh, and my fave: Cinque Pomodori!!
