Hello lovelies! I'm going to keep this sweet and short, because I'm swamped with many custom orders, sales, packing, ordering new supplies, and freelance work. Also, I'm very excited about my new collection that I can't wait to reveal! Here are some photos from my California trip to inspire you for your next vacation perhaps:)
1. Malibu, CA - peaceful view and delicious seafood.

2. Santa Barbara, CA- Getting away this fall season? I would love to return to Santa Barbara one more time.... the lovely weather, art, wine, spanish architecture are endless sources of inspiration. I visited the local Santa Barbara Museum and was happy surprised by lovely contemporary collection of Mark Chagall, but unfortunately that the only on room you not allow to take photos)
What is your dream destination? I would love to travel to Europe with this nice blouse (map of Paris) I and my friend found them in Anthropology... I see myself strolling through the airport and heading to Europe.... love that idea:)
A girl should dream ... right?
And last but not least, here is a new watercolor illustration I completed last week inspired by my summer trips. More in my
store this week. So, go ahead and dream of your next vacation and make it happen! My bags are always packed and ready to go!
with love,
Lana
The art looks amazing! It feels like ages ago since I last visited a museum. And I love your fun blouses :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Marieken! I think your comment about museums give me a new thoughts of my next blog post. Look up for a next one if you would like to learn more about "museums around the world" ....I blessed to visited the best museums and fortunate to see a real masterpieces from feet aways:) and I think it is a time to sharing it with you!
DeleteLooks like a great trip! The wine has me craving some of my own :)
ReplyDeleteLove your new painting!
I'm not the wine expert but I can really appreciate the good ones:) That Malibu local wine was delicious!
DeleteI love your new water color! I've never been to California. It seems like a beautiful and diverse place.
ReplyDeleteYes! Natasha - CA is very diverse and definatelly place to visit!
DeleteWhat a wonderful trip! The beach is gorgeous and the water is such a gorgeous shade of deep blue! Congrats on all the custom work and orders!! You are on a roll!
ReplyDeletemany thanks LeAnn! I personally prefer to be in our beaches.... water in CA too cold for me, but you are right - it is very pretty to look at!
DeleteI would not mind a vacation in sunny California!! The photo of you and your friend with identical blouse is adorable! Congratulations, Lana, on your success! So happy for you :) Your new art work has a lovely 50s vibe (imho)!
ReplyDeleteThank you Duni for your appreciation of my art! My best friend (for 20 years) lives in LA now and she visited us in Santa Barbara for a few days... we had a blast!
DeleteHave been to the Santa Barbara Mission years ago. My uncle used to live near there. Would love to go visit again! Love the watercolor!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your appreciation! Nice to see you again!
ReplyDeleteYou appear to be having loads of fun. Thanks for sharing the great pictures.
ReplyDeleteCalifornia must be wonderful! It seems like you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteEurope is fun, but make sure to visit some of the places that are less known to get the real Europe feel. After all, Amsterdam is not like the rest of the Netherlands, and Paris is not like the rest of France ;)
For me, my dream destination has been Japan for a long time :)
My husband visited Japan a few years ago and he adored all experiences! He actually think that Russia and Japan has a lot of similar cultural trends! I would love to schedule my next trip to a southern France and really explore the less known places:)
DeleteLove the blouse! Lovely pics of you vacation too. Hm...I've always wanted to check out the east coast of canada in the fall. Maybe one of these years!
ReplyDeleteThank you Melissa! I would like to visited Canada as well! Maybe if I will be missing the snow this year .... :)
DeleteLooks like a wonderful & sunny trip! Love the art!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! And great images. Has me dreaming of a trip to Malibu! Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteThank you girls for stopping here. Malibu such a small place, but it all cost from LA to Santa Barbara just worth to visiting!
DeleteIt looks like you had a wonderful time Lana! I especially like the seagull in your photo :) Lovely watercolor as well!
ReplyDeleteThe beach is very beautiful. I love your water color painting. :D
