At the end of a long day of sketching and painting
(yes, even on a week that's been as busy as this one has been!),
I often close my eyes at night with my mind wandering off
to fantasy scenes that would make
lovely upcoming illustrations.
I recently saw and started crushing on THIS
and it sent my thoughts to this fantasy world:
an afternoon of leisure, with no agenda,
no e-mails, a soft breeze, a trickling creek,
the sound of birds ...
I could see that a Picnic Girl definitely will drip from my
paintbrush and onto paper sometime soon ...
are you a Picnic Girl?
Slip with me into the dream ...

So ... what do you think ...
are you a Picnic Girl too?
If you're thinking you might just be,
what would make the perfect picnic to you?
Have a wonderful weekend, lovelies!

The beautiful escapes definitely appeal to me. That Kate Spade picnic basket is the "cats meow"!!
I dream of a warm, sunny lawn sloping down to the water. A soft blanket to fall asleep on and a lovely basket filled with delicious cheeses, wine and sweets.
Thank you for the beauty!!
NO! Definitly not :-) I don't like picnics or barbecues. I am a fan of a beautiful table with flowers and candles on it and sweet music while eating...
Sometimes I make a picnic with my daughter in her room, while watching our series...we don't watch any TV, but we are fans of different series. Then we have all, what we eat or drink around us. Certainly our sweet doggies, too. They get a lot of treats and are happy with us...
Enjoy your weekend!
Love, Ines
Hello dearest! Yes yes yes! I love a picnic! I haven't been on one in a very long time. :( However...we are taking a trip to Williamsburg soon so maybe hubby & I can take a good hike & find a nice spot to picnic. I love being outdoors. All of these baskets of goodies look divine to me. I'm a goodies & will eat anything healthy. :) Eagerly awaiting your illustration of the Picnic Girl! Xoxo

That picnic basket is gorgeous! No wonder it set off your dreams. I love a good leisurely picnic especially before the weather gets too hot. I think hubby and I need to plan one for Central Park soon. And I should do another picnic shoot with Rena and Ian too :)
Have a fab weekend Sandy!
