Painting in the works

My precious friend asked me to paint her something. I'm super excited about this one- I'm thinking fairly neutral abstract with flecks of gold, coral and some dove gray with lots of texture and high lacquer gloss. I want to reflect her inner beach gal, but aire a sense of sophistication so she can grow old with the painting and put it anywhere in any house she has. Just some ideas rolling around for inspiration...stay tuned!

Ann Mashburn

Yesterday, I went into Ann Mashburn's store in Atlanta...I never wanted to leave. The glossy white walls and floors, color coded clothes and a nude by Sally King Benedict and purple orchid, my kind of place. The presentation is phenomenal- You go Ann Mashburn. Just a tid bit on her- she worked for VOGUE (shocker), has five girls and focuses on more of a lifestyle rather than beauty in her clothes. Her husband, Sid, has a matching store next to hers- too cute. Can I be the Mashburns when I grow up?
