Getting ready for Tiki Oasis this weekend! :) I will be vending and enjoying all the festivities. Here is another painting that explores the idea of a Space Princess and her Tiki surroundings. Enjoy!!

For the upcoming Tiki Oasis event, I did two brand new "Panda and Me" paintings! :) This time Panda is on a distant planet helping the residents fight off Tiki invaders. I am showing these two paintings together because I think of them as scenes from the same retro sci fi movie. Hope you guys enjoy!

Here is the entire painting of "The Mod Girl & the Dinosaur!" I can't help but smile every time we drive past these dinosaurs on the way to Palm Springs. These dinosaurs statues are over 30 years old and have a kitchy charm to them. They look like giant children's toys left out to fade in the desert sun. One of the Dinosaurs even has a gift shop built inside his belly! If I have more time, I want to "Mr. Rex's" buddies as well. Our Mod Girl is wearing a vintage 1960's dress from Wonderama. The faded brown, creme and hints of green of this dress inspired me to put this together with the Cabazon Dinosaurs. Thanks for looking! :)

My recent trip to Palm Springs inspired this painting "Night Time Contemplation." It's about a girl and her cat contemplating the end of their long day over drinks. :) I love how easily you can see the stars in the vast Palm Springs desert. The woman is wearing a beautiful vintage 1960's dress robe that I saw at Wonderama, a boutique in downtown Palm Springs. I love the lushness of this golden robe and imagine living a glamorous life wearing it. :)

This upcoming weekend I will be selling Panda paintings and prints at Tiki Caliente in Palm Springs! This event is a celebration of all things Tiki Pop culture and aloha spirit with great food, drinks, live bands and art. Caliente takes place at Caliente Tropics Resorts, a retro style Polynesian Hotel in downtown Palm Springs. The "A" frame building you see here is a gem of the hotel.

This painting is more of a self portrait of how I am these days. At 22 weeks pregnant, I just want to lounge by the pool and relax. As I was creating this piece, I realized that I have NEVER painted a pregnant woman before. I subconsciously let the fashion magazines dictate the kind of females that I draw. It made me think that I need more diversity in my art. Thanks for looking! :)

This is another 60's vintage dress I bought from Wonderama in Palm Springs. I really love the painterly fabric and the ruffle collar. =) This dress would be perfect for riding around in a matching turquoise Vespa. The "Rancho Super Car Wash" is an actual car wash in Palm Springs. The super cute elephant sign lights up at night. Thanks for looking!

Over Easter weekend, I bought a few 1960's vintage dresses from Wonderama, a cool retro shop in Palm Springs. The colorful and intricate fabric of each dress inspired me to create a painting. For this dress below, I imagine myself stylishly lounging around the house with my tuxedo cat Leia.

Hey guys, I want to share my latest painting, "A Balmy Day at the Beach." It's about a mermaid sunbathing in the land of flamingos. :) I love the color combination of pink, teal green, turquoise and wanted to build a painting around it. I kept the background misty to give the scene some moody atmosphere. Of course she is enjoying her tiki drink as well!

Work in progress of another mermaid painting! She is sitting pretty on the sand surrounded by flamingos. I love the pink and sea green color combination of this piece. This is a small section of the painting. =)

After finishing "Panda's Underwater Adventure," I decided to do some more sea themed paintings!
"This will tickle only a little," is about a Mermaid Artist working on her Tiki sculpture. The Tiki is getting ticklish as the Mermaid is delicately chiseling his nose... it's like the artist and the artwork are having a back and forth conversation with each other. When I am painting for hours, I feel the artwork takes a life of its own and dictates the next move. It's my job to follow what the artwork wants. :)

This painting is on sale in my store:

Happy New Year from "Panda and Me" :) Here's to a fresh start in 2015!!

11/11/2014

I am so thrilled that this painting "Panda's Movie Night" will be part of Girls Drawin' Girls's "Powerful Women" art show at the Wallace Anderson Gallery in Boston!
When Panda isn't out saving the world, he hangs out with his nieces and nephew. It's another tropical rainy night and the gang is watching the Elvis classic "Blue Hawaii."
This painting is 16" x 20" acrylic on wood panel. It is selling for $400. DM me if interested.
A special shout out to A. Panda's Tiki Lounge for suggesting this idea. =)

Thanks so much!
