OK—so I had some issues with my skin color here…I promise I was not dipping into the self tanner! Anyhow I’m knee deep in school visits for the museum so I had to dress the part for one of Miami’s top prep schools today.I will say this week you may get 2 “wardrobe” sketches because…

Preppy Mafia Queen: Beth in Color
Last week I shared my first birthday gift sketch for the Preppy Mafia Queen herself, Beth. This week I would like to show you the final color sketch before I dive into the actual birthday painting. It will be watercolor on paper, but I will go into “Wardrobe Wednesday” mode with it and label out…
Manly Monday: Chris H.
My gubby Chris came over tonight for dinner…and he inspired me to sketch him and post a “Manly Monday”. What can I say about Chris? He is so adorbs! He is an incredible talent, the most incredible organist/pianist you’ll ever meet. He’s a splendid cook, he’s drop dead adorbs, fit, and dresses impeccably! Did I…
Thursday Threads: Dresses to “Fall” in Love With
I recently subscribed to People Style Watch (can’t get enough magazines!)…and while flipping through the pages I noticed myself marking several pages. The first page I marked was for the top dress, a fun metallic number from Victoria’s Secret . The second page I marked was for this gorgeous maxi dress (which I am wearing…
Wardrobe Wednesday: Yesterday and Today
Happy Wednesday! I thought I would not only include my ensemble from today, but also yesterday’s because it too was cute. As usual I combined high and low ticket items to pull my overall look together. What do you think? Today I am also requesting a press pass for Art Basel. I have gone to…
Preppy Mafia Queen: Beth
Beth Dunn, author, mother, blogger, Preppy Mafia Queen, Mrs. Social Climber herself recently celebrated a birthday. A fun birthday! I love her blog, I love her style, she’s great and I want to be Beth when I “grow up”. Well, I was emailing with Beth about some flamingos and I told her, “why don’t I…
Puppies and Babies…
You may recall that I was working on two paintings for my friend Dr. Tania. I finally got around to finishing them last week and delivering them to her. She was happy as happy can be, but apparently her mom loved the painting for Baby A’s nursery a little too much and threatened to take…
Thursday Threads: College Football Gear
It is college football season. To me this is far more important and exciting than NFL football. The real passion is in NCAA football. I went to SMU which is synonymous with having been given the death penalty in the 80’s for blatantly doing what other teams do…pay their players. Anyhow—SMU football is finally getting…
Wardrobe Wednesday: Shoes
I must confess…my ensemble is NOT Wednesday Wardrobe worthy today. I’m wearing a maxi dress with an oversized cardigan and sandals. Sounds cute in theory…but not in implimentation. Maybe its the messy hair, maybe its the lack of make-up. So…today’s Wednesday Wardrobe is focussing on the shoes I wore to dinner on Monday night, because…
Oldie But Goodie
This is one of my favorite series of paintings. I call it Circles…this is not what I was going to blog about tonight— I was going to write about my fall TV schedule…but then the baby didn’t nap all day and getting to bed became quite a chore…so here is my blast from the past….
