Looks from Life - Paintbrushes

Today's Looks from Life inspiration comes from one of my favorite up-and-coming photographers, honey.huckabee:

Focus on the little bit of shine and the little bit of matte, and you get this dress! A perfect rendering, I must say:

TFNC Tara Zip Dress, approx $74; Dolce & Gabbana Patent Stiletto Pumps, $439

And the black patent leather pump gives the right amount of glossiness, reminiscent of the black ferrule of the paintbrush.

Back to the Drawing Board

We're taking a turn away from fashion today and on to art. Last weekend, I broke out my acrylics and painted a little bit. I hadn't painted in about two years, and realized I had really missed it.


The pug painting (above) was a little birthday present for my friend, Stephanie, and the barn owls (below) were just for fun. Both were painted on small pieces of plywood/driftwood I found at the beach, and they both only took about 30 minutes to paint; like speed-dating, but with art!



It's also helping nature because I scavenged my "canvases"; they're both technically painted on trash picked up from the beach (see the nail in the lower right-hand corner of the owl piece?).

What do you think? Should I start it up again and practice, or should I pack up the paints?
