The finale in a few ways. The last painting with this subject, for now, and the actual finale of the fashion show. When the designer walks down with the models.

Do you remember the show STYLE WITH ELSA KLENSCH? I used to love it. I watched it religiously during high school. Just a small town girl dreaming of life in the big city.

MODELS

"Models"

6"x6", oil on stretched canvas, painting carries onto canvas sides

Meet our Givenchy models Organza (left) and Chiffon (right)(aka Organza Indecence). Of course, these are parfume bottles and as I was setting them up I thought of them as models making their way down the runway. Organza is making her way down the runway while Chiffon is making her way back up. I sure hope Organza doesn't trip on Chiffon's dress!

The House of Givenchy was founded in 1952 by Hubert de Givenchy and one of it's most famous patrons was Audry Hepburn.

For those in the U.S., have a happy and safe 4th of July!!

If you're in the area stop by and see me in Seward on the 4th!!

welcome to Heather's Art-O-Rama!

I've been busy getting all my art together for 4th of July Crafts on the Square in Seward, Nebraska. Seward is just crazy on the 4th! And the square that surrounds the court house is just packed with vendors and shoppers.

Today was a tough painting day. I started with some salt water taffy, but it just wasn't working. Maybe another day. I did have fun with the pink umbrella.
