{coming down to the home stretch with these words}
lisa’s word.
lisa is back from her trip to japan {she even did a little update on her blog}. Can’t wait to hear about it!
The idea that cupcakes desire tea, happened quite by accident. I was sketching things…tea & cupcakes. I wanted to do something fun, something with humor. I tend to go melancholy…so I wanted bright things for desire. Like sugar. and cupcakes are kind of the epitome of sugar. Plus they always look so cute. So back to the sketching…I wrote the word desire and then above it I wrote cupcakes & below tea. Then I happened to look at it:
cupcake
desire
tea.
then I thought:
cupcake's
desire
tea
And the idea just went from there. The cupcakes…the tea…the pink, and there you have word 19.
On Saturday the 21st I will be at The Venice Contemporary Gallery with this painting if anyone wants to come by and say hey! The opening is from 7pm to 11pm.

is the title she doesn’t have a name yet, or does she really not have a name yet? whew, that’s difficult to make sense out of after a day with 3 kids under 5!
thinking of you,

I can see this blown up and hanging on some very trendy coffee shop wall, but what I really want is to have it blown up and hanging on my living room wall. Very fun and happy.
