Last Chance

Tonight's the night---your final chance to enter a chance to win an original mini-painting.

Now--for my entry for the day.

This is a sketch of the Double Banyon --honestly---I love it. A lot...I may have it framed type of love.

I also decided to absorb Rolling Hills into my personal collection this weekend. I use it for my blog image---my twitter page--- it's a favorite.

Anyhow, this weekend I am going to start working on 3 nursery pieces and some sketches for a potential commission.

Thanks for all your comments throughout the week. I'll be picking a winner tomorrow.

A Last One for the Weekend

This was a very big weekend. Friday was the JOBC Auction-- which was a big success. Catered by Relish with a bar sponsored by Bacardi...it was a super fun event too.

Saturday-- was a nice relaxing day of football, errands with my mom...and more football.

Today was a very entertaining day. It was the blessing of the animals at St. Philip's --and Maggie came with us and was VERY well behaved. Sweet girl was the biggest of the dogs and was in the company of turtles, hamsters, fish and even a bird!
After that, it was time to help my friend Ana celebrate her bday (which is tomorrow and she shares with another dear friend of ours). She hosted a BBQ for the Dolphins game at her house---great food--great friends...and MANGO MARGARITAS! YUM!!

So in honor of a fun weekend full of friends and celebrations, I thought I would post these two spirited drawings from my sketch book. The "Vino" drawing is in homage of my friend Jess and the ninja is a funny conversation from years ago...the idea that we are all ninjas in our own way---and we all (most of us) like cocktails... guess you had to be there.

Anyhow, hope you had a nice weekend.

water coloring...

I did some water coloring.

Just playing around some in my sketch book.

I had just come back from visiting my Oli and she and I were talking about princesses...and how long her hair is...and curly.

So she inspired this long curly haired beauty... princess meets Gossip Girl if you will.

Why can't we all have loads and loads of gorgeous hair that cooperates like in this watercolor?

...a girl can dream can't she?

Next Show at Books & Books booked!

OK--- so mark your calendars! I have just been booked for another month-long solo show at Books and Books in Coral Gables, September 3-28, 2010.

Between now and then I be working on several things...
1. prints
2. onesies
3. canvas shopping bags

I'm also going to be taking some of my pieces to a great little store in Coconut Grove, which is interested in carrying my things.

So the show in the Gables may be over, but there is still much to be done.
...and you...the Holidays are right around the corner. How about a little something special for that special someone you love.

I'm officially taking commissions again!

IOMOI new things...

IOMOI is one of my favorite sites in the entire world.

It's one of those sites where I can't get anything because I can't decide which pattern I like the most.

It also makes me want cuter business cards...and a cuter logo.

www.iomoi.com

Check it out...and take a look at all the new products they are about to launch like Lucite trays, ice buckets, and bags!

Just another way I get inspired everyday...

On Her Way Home...New Give-Away!!

The Queen Bee mini was finished last night and will be on her way home today.

With that...I think it's time for a new give-away.
