Outfitted Week 6

Outfitted: week 6, Watercolour on Canson paper

Phoning this one in from my family home in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. It's a little rushed, and I am not completely satisfied with the face and skirt. Working away from the studio is hard!

Outfitted Week 4

12 Aug


Outfitted: week 4, 11.5" x 13" Watercolour on Canson paper

The Leslie Spit is one of my favourite places to be in August in Toronto. 10 minutes on a bike and I feel like I have left the city. The yellow tansy flowers make the air smell of honey, and the crickets drown out any traffic sounds from the city.

chrysanthemum camisole: vintage from gadabout
jeans: yoga jeans from max's wholesale (queen and pape, toronto)
shoes: nicole from winners
earrings: the lola collection (found via modish)
