summer of colour -purple

The weekly challenge summer of colour continues, with the colour purple for this week. Honey Bunny is the star in my painting " Take the ong way home.."  isn't she so cute?  The clouds are made from maps of  my hometown  NYC..

The heat wave here continues and it's really hard to do any kind of work..my mind keeps wondering to the greek islands and my vacation, which is still a few weeks away..
ohh I want to tell you how amazing the Roger Waters concert was!! It was something between a concert and a theatrical performance. I was so lucky to be in the front row!!  It just blew me away at this absolutely amazingly talented man, so full of energy, and depth of his show!!
and as for Jon Bon Jovi....omg! the temperature that day was 104 degrees, and the band was soo fantastic! poor Jon was sweating so bad..I wanted to go up on stage and wipe the sweat off his face. ;) lol  I felt like a teenager, dancing and singing the whole time! (and screaming) lol  and, no I don't miss the days, but it's nice to let it all hang out and don't worry abt who's watching and have no inhibitions and just be a kid again!! you know what I mean?!  This is really what I love most about being the age I am (forever 36) the confidence, and knowing what I want out of life! getting it and not having to apologize about it! right?!  please tell me I'm right..!

    Honey Bunny is just too cute! She reminds me of our bunny Mayo (short for Mayonnaise). Aren't maps fun to use in a painting!

    YOU are SO right! And you should know that you are an inspiration to me - leaving all that you know to move somewhere you love - and then being successful at your chosen art path at the same time - just amazing. Like your bunny here - love those clouds and the beautiful bold color. xo

    I TOTALLY agree!!!!

    How brilliant to see Bon Jovi...

    I love your rabbit (great minds think alike!), especially your map clouds.

    I framed my print btw and it looks WONDERFUL even my husband likes it which is a huge compliment as he is not at all arty!

    Have a fantastic holiday!
