all of the pieces in the Cowgirl Collection are intended to infuse a cheeky sense of FUN into your space. for this piece in particular, the artist went with a green and brown color scheme that brings a pop of color, while still blending effortlessly into a neutral space. the phrase "All Hat No Cattle" is one of her favorite cliches, meaning someone has the appearance of a cowboy but doesn't have the cows to back it up, or is "all talk" and no action. mallory experimented with a new process for making the cowboy hat stamp, carving it herself out of a linoleum block for print-making. she is a firm believer that there is plenty of room for fun in the art world, and this is a way to bring some of that fun into your home.

this piece is inspired by all mallory's drives back and forth between nashville and birmingham/tuscaloosa over the years. the background has "I-65" stamped in a creamy grey, with low contrast against the ivory background. and the black boxes have the text "Headed Home" stamped in a slightly lighter grey. so much happens on drives home and the commutes- it's where you process your day, your season of life, call your friends and family, replay the day and have imaginary conversations, or listen to music, podcasts, the news (or Bobby Bones, if you're me...). some of the most creative ideas happen in the car, and this pays homage to all those little moments on the drive home.
the lingua franca classic short-sleeve cashmere crewneck with "i think i love you" patch. sky blue with poppy patch + canary thread.

after hearing this quote, it stuck in the artist's head like glue: "if you're bored, you're boring." there is so much to learn, so much to try, so much beauty to appreciate in the world. there's no reason to be bored.
color-wise, this piece consists of shades of a warm purple. it is finished with a high-gloss varnish, so it looks sleek & shiny. i love how it looks combined with the blue/teal pieces in this collection.
each piece in the contentment collection is stamped with an item pulled from gratitude lists in the artist's journals, which she's been writing consistently for ten years now. they are meant to be mix & matched so you can choose the colors and phrases that speak to you. mallory hopes when you look at them, they serve as a reminder to practice gratitude.
