a weekend in Paris ...


...would be just the ticket, non?

I, for my part am traveling by the means of art - using the magical powers of my sketchbook to take me, wherever i want to go. 

A new fashion sketch - a black & white story in the streets of Paris - just while i work on that portrait for Anita- hopefully over the weekend.

Do you have anything planned yet? I left it quite open, to have the space and possibility to work on my art a little - besides exploring the outdoors and looking for all these little signs of spring everywhere. This fresh, crisp green of the first leaves is one of my favorite colors in the world!

Have a fubtastic weekend ahead and see you all soon!.

    You are making me so excited! First of all, this sketch is fabulous.....the aqua background (YES YES YES) and the iconic black and whites, the sunglasses (a must in Paris for eye protection and style!) and that coat...the long legs...yes!

    I look forward to seeing what you have in store, but this sketch is just fantastic my friend! Enjoy your weekend! Anita
