pve design - illustration for one with supreme style of the court.
Each day, one of my favorite jaunts is to visit a spot with supreme style, "Queen" of the
style court if you will. Often it is those who I admire not only for their ability to post often, but to be so passionate about what they love. Many of you know style court already, but for those of you who do not, take a caravan, a rick-shaw, or carrier of choice to visit. There you will find a bit of art history, a collection of art, some vintage books and style that pays homage to another era.
The above sketch, I illustrated for style court, just for fun, just because she inspires me and takes me to a far away world full of intrigue. Oh, yes, you know who you are, and there are others out in the blogosphere that inspire me to keep illustrating, and not surrender my desire to draw. I thank each and every one of you for inspiring me to create and to connect with individuals who are engaging, well-read, passionate, on a pursuit to live an artful life. What blogs motivate you or inspire you to do your best?

Come take a look!

I *love* your elephant and the attention to detail, the clever references which encapsulate the amazing Style Court. I am envious of your witty illustrative style which adds distinction to so many of the best stylish authoritative blogs. My favourite is Emily Evans Eerdman's - the way you have incorporated her initials in a key pattern. Bravo!
Heidi-
"Ernie" will love this! She will be here thursday and I will gather her info! Thanks so much.

Rose-
Thanks, I had a really rough morning, so I needed to lose myself in a drawing which is really the reason why I love to find wit, to create something that will cause one to smile in a chic sort of way. I guess you could say I am obsessed with cleverness of interpretation of lifestyles. You must know what I mean, to find the humor in little things.

GORGEOUS illustration! It reminds me of an old movie i saw when i was a kid...The secret garden.
Well we talked yesterday about things that inspire us ;)
Love The illustration and Style Court!
Your illustrations are amazing! I love that elephant...and the colors you chose. Beautiful!
Patricia --
My jaw dropped when I saw this. Your sensitivity and attention to detail is amazing. I'm thanking you privately but just had to give a little thanks here too.

great art work...what blogs inspire me I like a wide variety, art, decor, food, family, humor really anything. I think of it has my magizines or little books. My husband said you don't read that much anymore and I was like oh yes I do short stories in the dozens everyday. Takes me far away places as well.
The illustration is terrific. No, make that super terrific.
Rose and Kwana -- thanks so much!
Simply fabulous drawing.....she must abolutely love it. So clever! The details and colours....another notecard (wink,wink).
Courtney not only has immense style, but is just a lovely person. Your beautiful illustration does justice to both of you!

This is gorgeous, Patricia, and a perfect tribute.
This is definitely one of my favorite illustrations of yours (as if I needed a favorite - I love them all!)
Its almost like a new period for you with bright colors.
What a royal illustration! I love it! This would make the most wonderful blog header!
Wit, charm, detail... and the illustration that you did for Style Court is wonderful fun, too! It really is spot on.
Thanks for visiting my blog today. I always enjoy being introduced to others' work. I love your illustrations. Don't ever give it up!
Both you and Courtney inspire me every day! Each bit of your illustration captures an element of Courtney's spirit. Lovely.
You have inspired me to pick up my micron and make some cards. You are too much! Merci!
Another beautiful piece! I LOVE the whimsy in this. Gorgeous.
Just perfect, your illustration really captures Style Court's brand (for lack of a better word). It looks just like the exotic and beautiful things she blogs about.
Patricia,
This illustration is so lovely and creative. You have such a fabulous gift and you use it well.
Yours and Courtney's blogs are two I read faithfully.
Blessings to you...

Love the Style Court imagery -
One of these days... I'm going to hire you!
To answer your question about what inspires...
You do!!
I see your illustrations of beautiful homes and I pull out my pens to draw. They never will have the look of yours - but you keep me trying!!
Window displays are quick to inspire - (wouldn't that be a fun job to be a window designer?)
COLOR in nature- Art - always inspires me.
Travel - I like making up stories about new places & people I meet - trying to imagine what their life is like.
I always find inspiration through photography - usually more with others, than my own -there is always much to be found on flickr and such.
Of course I follow Style Court and I can see lots of her Blog on your drawing, so refined and colourful at the same time. Brava.
absolutely adorable I love elephants and this sketch is just perfect. I can't wait til I have my studio set up
Honestly, your own blog inspires me to be a better person. And I mean that with every bit of truth. You have a sense of giving that always makes me want to reach out and use my own talents to brighten others' days. You're one first class woman, Patricia, and the www wouldn't be the same without you!
One of my most favorite thing about blogging are the people you connect with and to have a hand in inspiring someone to draw, to create, to learn, to think is the highest honor. Your comments motivate me to follow my dream of illustration and capturing things in a colorful and stylish way! I am looking forward to a wonderful year ahead with great things in store!
Thank you readers!
