The Legend of Lilly

I would like to dedicate this in honor of iconic fashion designer Lilly Pulitzer Rousseau, who passed away today. For those of you who do not know who/what Lilly is, let me just tell you, it's a big deal. 

A brief history: Her schoolmate Jacqueline Kennedy, while first lady, was photographed wearing one of Pulitzer's dresses -- and made her a star. How awesome is that?

Her bright, colorful patterns included everything from roses to sailboats and from alligators to shrimp! One of my roommates swears by Lilly. We both gush over all of the new patterns (and the old ones too) together, and we've decided that Lilly is always a classy choice. 

So, in leu of today, I would like to post all of my paintings that were inspired by Lilly herself. Thank you so much for making the world a brighter - and more colorful! - place. I hope that one day I will make a positive impact on the world by doing something I love, just as she has.

15,000!!!

OH MY GOODNESS. I woke up this morning to a text from my boyfriend saying I had reached 15,000 VIEWS ON MY BLOG!! He was number 15,000, so he was pretty excited about it. *Shout out to Dave!!* That's just crazy- 15 whole thousand views. Just WOW!!!!

 

This weekend I was so busy painting and doing homework that I barely even posted or checked my blog. Thank you everyone for continuing to check it out every once in a while. It's exciting for me to see the increased traffic! Let's see what I have been up to lately...

Eeek super excited about some things I am posting soon. Christina Williams of Christina Williams Designs (check her out of Facebook- AWESOME things!) had me make a plethora of canvases for her upcoming shows including a few Bible verses, a TCU canvas, her own personal logo, and my favorite...HALLOWEEN CANVASES! It's never too early for Halloween. Starbucks is already kickin' the season off with their delicious pumpkin spice latte...YUM.

Lots of love to all of my viewers and thank you for the support!
