Put a little skip in your summer with some nautical touches. I have often thought that it would be fun to find some bright outdoor patio furniture upholstered in a sailcloth and some high gloss all weather furniture. Does summer put a skip in your step? (Today is "Creative Thursday" and I am enjoying the on-line pod casts which I will post about next week! Marisa's voice and words always put a skip in my step!)
My heart skipped a beat when I saw today's illustration! I see myself in that seat, feet propped up on the table, a book in my hand, sunglasses on, people watching all day long!
ReplyDeleteThat illustration is fantastic!! Yes, summer puts a skip in my step. I wear my summer hats alot, sandals and bright summer colors.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun! ;)
That would be pretty. I would love a beach va-ca right about now. Just to relax and look at the water would be dreamy.
ReplyDeleteThe lady in your sketch looks so elegant! Beautiful! My favorite nautical clothing items are blue and white striped boat neck T's!
ReplyDeleteSailcloth and high gloss??? Two of my fav pairings...one of my tricks is to actually use high gloss boat paint. You could skate on the finished effect it's sooo shiney! Now whe're really talking nautical...XXOO
ReplyDeleteI could jump into that illustration right now and be happy as a clam.
ReplyDeleteLove the color combination and the herringbone brick patio.
Great illustration Patricia! I have lots of color out on the sundeck. It is a time of light, and brightness.
ReplyDeleteA cheery and summery illustration-LOVE IT? Is it for a client?

I would like to be sitting right there, enjoying the company of a special friend...
