WEDNESDAY ILLUSTRATION: BEAUTY ILLUSTRATION



Today's illustration was inspired by one of Elizabeth Ulloa's beauty make up looks.
I love the combination of the smokey eyes, pale pink lips and elegant black face net from this look. The silver flowers around her neck created a sense of mystery and innocence.
She looks like a mystical winter fairy, so I painted some abstract snowflake textures for the background. -Sunny

WEDNESDAY ILLUSTRATION: ANNA SUI FALL 2013 RTW




Today's illustration was inspired by Anna Sui Fall 2013 RTW collection. French New Wave, Godard, Anna Karina were some of the inspirations behind this season's Anna Sui collection. Anna loved the graphic aesthetics of Godard's films, particularly of how he used red and blue, black and white in his set designs.With the 60s fashion trends in mind , she designed a colorful collection featuring jeune fille jumper dress, boy-watcher sunglasses, colored tights and loafers, matching kneesocks.

Fuschia

I love flowers, many kinds of flowers.
This time I painted Fuschia. It's flower meaning is "confiding love", how lovely is that?
One humming bird is whispering the secret, will the other one hear it?

This is the painting currently showing at La Luz De Jesus Gallery.
