Summer dream

Some beautiful images from the Santa Cruz area this summer...I've been frequenting Santa Cruz a lot this year. I opened up the year there and have kept going back. There is no place quite like it. Forest and sea, two of my loves.

Inspire

Sometimes inspiration is sitting right in front of you...As in my work desk...

 Have you guys tried the new Chanel colors for fall? My favorite has to be Peridot I've been wearing it all summer. It looks really good with a tan. Quartz is my second favorite a silvery rosy beige!! Graphite although stunning is better left for the fall/winter.

Bout de Lune

My great niece Makenna Luna and I are best friends to say the least. Whenever I visit her it's our own world of painting, drawing, dressing up, Garfield and Totoro. She requested this illustration from me on one of my visits. She disappeared for about 20 minutes returning with this detailed picture, pin and baggy. Then told me I might want to do a preliminary sketch on the computer before I start as it needs to be exact to her vision....lol, Oh my, 5 going on 30! She also informed me that we are going to be roommates when she grows up and move to Paris. Sounds good!

 Me, her mama Christina, Makenna
