POODLE-ISCIOUS

 

  

 

Happy Monday, darlings.

One of the "chicest" things on the end of a leash
has to be a poodle, don't you think?
With their luxurious and sometimes curly manes
and sophisticated long noses,
there's just something about them.
Maybe it is simply the fact that they are often seen
"walking" some very chic owners.

One of those owners is a 65 year-old former fashion model
named Linda Rodin ...

{she currently has her own praised skincare line}

  

Not long ago in this post,
I mentioned that Linda was recently
featured in the Coveteur and that
there was also a very charming photo in the feature
of Linda's sophisticated poodle, Winky,
sitting on Linda's pretty pink chaise
and surrounded by her shoes, clutch and scarf.
I had also mentioned
that I hadn't been able to resist 

whipping up a little painting of
Winky but that it wasn't quite finished ...

Well, Winky is now here to
send you off into a brand new week ...

Winky's obviously "in the pink" ...
and we're both sending wishes that your week
 will be "in the pink" too!

If you missed this post last week, I announced
a new summer schedule for the blog
and as a part of that schedule,
I mentioned that until the end of May
Ooh La Frou Frou will be Mondays only
{due to an illustration calendar that thinks it's a jetsetter!}.

See you next Monday, lovies!

Happy Friday, lovelies.
What is it about a girl and her dog?
We just love 'em!
I'm working on a fab commission right now
that includes a very chic woman and her dog
and it made me realize it's one of my favorite things to illustrate.
Don't they just go together ... girls and dogs?

I also had dogs on the mind because of a recent
feature on The Coveteur ...
on Linda Rodin, sixty-five year old model, stylist and
now skin care line entrepreneur.
Linda has a beautiful silver poodle named Winky.
I loved the Coveteur's photo of him so much
(below)
that I thought he deserved illustration fame.
My illustration of Winky isn't quite finished.

I had planned include him in this post, but ...
ahhhh well ... soon.
Doesn't he have such personality?



So I send you off into the weekend, friends,
dreaming of girls and dogs ...
so appropriate since yesterday was
National Pet Day ...
perhaps you'll be walking one of your own
this weekend?
If so, tell me about your dog ...
you never know,
 he may be inspirational enough to
show up in an illustration sometime ;)
Have a wonderful weekend, darlings!
