As you can see...I have not been faithful to my painting a week goal. As summer has drifted on I find that I am much happier baking in the sun than hiding in my basement with paintbrush in tow. So I have decided to take the summer off... to enjoy my kids, my almost tan and my sanity from sunshine. I have a few pieces in the works... if there is one thing this summer has been full of, that would be inspiration. This piece or I guess these pieces were inspired by the search for Jr High shoes for my 8th grade Beetle Bug. I get it Jr High... wardrobe emphasis... however age has brought on better financial discretion on my behalf. With a panic attack lingering in the shadows, I bought the $85.00 ruby red Toms for my Bug, thank you Nordstroms. I then drifted upon Rue 21 $11.99 knock offs. WHAT!? No my purchase won't contribute to the humanitarian needs of this world but it sure as hell will save me $73.01. I figured with a little personal touch we could whip these puppies into something...and here they are. And as for my daughter, she's as pleased at punch (fruit punch with fresh lemons and oranges in it, delicious).
