A patio is a perfect spot to hold a summer's eve cocktail. Entertaining outside is a great way to embrace your inner "courtyard" and liven up your terrace or patio with accessories to bring about an island soiree. Palm trees, fountains, and lattice work can easily be added to transform a space from drab to delightful. Torches to add light as well as strings of lights are a wonderful way to add ambiance, and extra light when the sun goes down. Events can be tied to a gallery opening, or for a worthy cause on a patio, terrace, deck or sun-roof!
You throw the best patio parties. You inspire me! Love that sketch

Definately time for a party! One just like your lovely illustration.
ReplyDeleteThis one got me excited! We are having a new patio built soon and then it will be my sons 3rd birthday with a party here. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI agree, you can make any space nice -lattice and plants will transform a concrete porch in the city into a tropical oasis :-) Beautiful clothes shown here, too!
ReplyDeleteThis also makes me want to throw a party! If only I had that patio!
ReplyDeleteThat's it...I am ready to attend. Festive, fantastic illustration!
ReplyDeleteThese sketches are just beautiful. You certainly do throw a wonderful patio party!!!
ReplyDeleteIf only it weren't 110 in the shade, I'd love to host or, better yet, attend a patio party. As usual, love your art! I was hoping to do a post on my blog about some of the talented creative artists' blogs I've found (like you and Hazel). Would it be ok if I posted one of your illustrations along with it?
ReplyDeleteHey - saw London Calling's new header - bloody wonderful. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's great to be able to enjoy true talent!
I came via London Calling's new header and am so glad I did...just in time for a patio party!
ReplyDeletelove the summer soirée posts. friends here are planning a sundress cocktail party just because (think casablanca). love the notion! your festive illustration makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteThat sketch is so cheery - looks like Palm Beach and could inspire me to have a little outdoor get-together.
ReplyDeletePlease be my "oh so chic" neighbor so we can plan parties, plan organic gourmet meals and paint together. Seriously, you are such inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love that sketch! Gets me very excited for the season...! Can't wait to break in our new space. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAh, I adore this scene. It's so summery and playful! It's inspired me to take my laptop and work outside on my patio to enjoy the weather. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us. I hope one day (when I'm in my "forever" home) to have to create an illustration for us.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I wanted to let you know that I've suggested to many of my design school buddies that they take a look at your interior illustrations for inspiration. You helped me get an "A" in my rendering class! : )
ReplyDeleteI want to come!
ReplyDeletePatricia, did you do fashion illustration at any time? You do it so well!
Hope that party was a blast. :)
