Victoria's Secret Always Inspires me.

Check out their new collection! Are they supposed to be real Halloween costumes? I love the sailor and the Sexy Little Air Hostess! I might paint something using those colors soon! http://www.victoriassecret.com/sleepwear/sexy-little-fantasies

L.A. not the city...

Hello readers and friends. I wanted to share with you a simple yet very rewarding way to personalize your home. My sister and I recently moved into a very cute apartment, and under a moonlight (not shown), I have placed a small dresser, with some picture frames and decorations. Although I thought that my decorating looked great, I wanted our apartment to have a personal touch. While I was looking online, I saw great mugs at anthropologie.com and had a great idea of putting an L on canvas for Liliana and an A for Alejandra,my sister. Below,  (at the very bottom of the page) is a link to their site and the mugs that inspired me. Although I think their letters are beautiful, I didn't want to make an exact replica of their letters, so I painted the letters for our apartment in my own style. Here are the end results:

I think the A for Alejandra turned out a lot better than my L,and Alejandra thinks it looks like a little Eiffel tower, which makes me love it even more. I think I will make another set of these, with a better L. I can't simply redo the L because the light pink background that I painted the letters on, matches perfectly, and I am too OCD to make a new painting with a different hue of pink.

What do you think about these paintings? Show me what you have come up with. Xoxo, coco,coco, Liliana

I'm no Monet

Hello! I'm Liliana and this is my first art blog. Here I will post updates on my latest creations, what I am working on, and what inspires me. The picture above, I painted in 2006 and it was inspired by Monet's Water Lilies. I love Claude Oscar Monet and his work, and wanted to create a replica for myself, because a paper print just wouldn't do. Of course this doesn't come close to being a replica, but I love the colors and I am quite proud of how my painting turned out.


Who is your favorite artist? Do you paint? What inspires you?

Remember to subscribe to my blog, I will be creating more art, refining my skills and sharing the art in my heart with you.
