Vacation Inspired Art
Hi there. How are you?
We recently returned home from a lovely 10-day vacation.
Traveling to Tampa, Florida, Matt (my husband) and I embarked on a 5-day cruise with a group of old friends. We witnessed the beach wedding of our friends while docked in Key West. (Matt served as officiant!) From there we headed to Cozumel, and back to Tampa.
After the cruise, we drove down to Naples, Florida and spent a few relaxing days visiting Matt's parents in their winter home.
Ten days of sun, sea, and leisure does wonders for my psyche.
In the words of my Dad, "It didn't suck."
My vacation drawing was influenced by the tropical color palette of my travels.
Our tropical travels inspired this drawing.
My sketchbook comes with me everywhere I go, especially on vacation. Though this trip was packed with activity, I did manage to get in a little drawing time. I drew out by the pool on cruise days and in the Schooner bar when we had our pre-dinner cocktails. If I don't get in a little drawing most days, I just don't feel right.
As you can see, the tropical colors of my travels inspired the "bird of paradise" color scheme. I had intended to use this drawing as the backdrop for a new card design, but I haven't decided how to use it yet. (Thoughts?)
