Panama

This is Layla's (our younger daughter) summer straw hat. We had picked up one for her while we were in Amsterdam and she wore it everywhere, due to which it tore. So this summer we picked up another one for her from Joe Fresh. She loves her hats - it is very her! Thought I would paint it as it was a fashion related subject and fits nicely into my current theme "From my closet".

Yellow and Green

The China Market in Malaysia is one great  place to shop for shoes. They have streets and streets of shoe shops, most of them copies or backdoor pieces. I picked up this pair when we were in Malaysia in 2006. It is also a great place to shop for other accessories like handbags, watches, shades, etc. What is your favorite city to shop in???

Theme for this year

Display your paintings

I have been contemplating how to make best use of the limited wall space at home to display my paintings. I love peeking into other artists homes and picked up this great idea via the design is mine blog. Since I am mostly doing 7x7 and 8x8 pieces this makes a nice setting. With this I can move the entire surface into the basement when not displaying the paintings and more importantly "No holes in the walls". I have a serious aversion to making holes in walls....am constantly asking D to put things up without knocking holes in the walls. He thinks I am crazy! I just don't want to damage a surface.........seems so wrong. Anyhow back to my display - you like?

D is going to build it for me....I like the frame around it - gives the paintings one singular border. Shelves allow me to interchange the paintings displaying the  more recent ones (the more I create the worse I think my older art is). This allows me to display my best work.

And did I tell you we are going all white in the living room.....its just the beginning of a wonderful new venture....watch this space.
