Ah, young love!  When life gives you lemons, you can make lemonade, or you can dust off the piano accordion and sing a serenade.

Today's illustration sees two smitten kittens making sweet music together in Greece, quite probably before partaking of fresh sardines with an ocean view.  If I saw this adorable pair while holidaying, I'd more than give them a tip or two.  And on that note ...

Happy Feline Friday to you!

Divine Doors : When One Pink Door Closes

When one door closes, another one opens.  Just not at this particular Mediterranean home!

Today's travel art illustration of vibrant pink doors with matching bougainvillea is a great way to brush up on your spelling of 'bougainvillea' for your next spelling bee - not to be confused with Bogan Villea, which could be a flannelette-clad town on an Australian Monopoly board if such a thing existed.  If not, what a sad omission!  And on that note ...

Happy Friday to you !

When holidaying in Greece, quite possibly the most arduous thing to do is to choose your favourite shade of blue!

Today's illustration sees us fashionably casual and casually fashionable.  We're taking our of our Instagram besties Miss Olive the Frenchie along for the ride.  Tickle us pink and stripe us lucky.   Sitting high on that perch, she's rather plucky.  And on that note ...

Happy Fashionable Friday to you!

Coffee, Long Island Tea or me?

Actually, you're more likely to find a Greek Mohito or Santorini Sunrise here than a Long Island Tea, but let's not split cat hairs!  From our armchair travels, we've alighted here ~ so let's whip white linen tablecloths into sundresses and pull up some chairs.   And on that note ...

Happy Fashionable Friday to you !

Fashionable Friday : Greece is the Word

Greece is the word ... It's got a groove, it's got a meaning! 

Greece is the time, is the place, is the motion, Greece is the way we are feeling ...


I do love the Bee Gees! Who knew they enjoyed that idyllic part of the world so much~ but today's fashion and fluffballs illustration is a fine example as to why!  With scenery like this, I'm not sure why locals feel the need for quite so much plate smashing, but let's call it joyful and not ask why!

Today we're strolling with dear Wilma, a rescue dog who landed on her paws well and truly when her parents Petrea and J found her awaiting a new furever home a little while ago now.  Wilma is highly talented and even has her own blog.  One of her humans is an entertainer and author and I think some of that's rubbed off onto her!  Please go say Hi and pick up a complimentary chuckle at Wilma Dialogs.  And Wilma has her own Instagram account, so you can be entertained by her there, too.  Thank you! And on that note ...

Happy Fashionable Friday to you!

PS:  Armchair travel by gazing at on your wall with fine art prints available at Shell Sherree Studio... merci, grazie, thank you!

Fluffy Fashionable Friday Illustration : I Heart Dresses and Totes Adorable Kitty

6.10.17

Some people wear their heart on their sleeve.  I figure, "Why stop there?"

I don't know about you, but by the time spring arrives, I'm totally 'over' my winter hibernation jeans and longing to escape into the breeziness of long, flowy dresses at every possible opportunity!  Today's fashion and fluffballs illustration includes one such example I'd love to materialise into my wardrobe, along with a totes adorable kitty cat {as expected ... so predictable!}  Our setting is a European back street somewhere ... sufficiently vague in detail to allow your mind to wander wherever your armchair travels fancy.  If I was hazarding a guess, I'd say there's a hint of salted island air - but maybe I'm mistaking it for salted caramel fare.

So come, let us bask and chat and stroll with legs bare.  And find a platter of local delicacies to share!  And on that note ...

Happy Fluffy Fashionable Friday, honey bear ! 

PS:  To acquire a paper daydream to escape into through your wall, you'll find a lovely range - growing all the time - in my Shell Sherre Studio online store.  If you'd love a print of something that's not yet there, please let me know and I'll arrange it for you.  Merci, grazie, thank you!

Fashionable Friday : Santorini Stroll Sartoriale

9.6.17

 Necessity is the mother of linguistic invention.

Today's illustration is set in Greece, not Italy, so I've taken poetic license for today's post title by using the Italian form of the word sartorial, that being sartoriale.  Somehow, Santorini Stroll ραπτικός just doesn't have the same ring. {And let's not ask why I didn't just stick with the English form of the word sartorial, that being sartorial.  That's way too much explaining to do.}

So come, let us hoist our geographically-appropriate Boho skirts and seek out some shade and a geographically-appropriate drink.  I think I'd like mine with a miniature umbrella, geographically-appropriate or otherwise.  And on that note ...

Happy Fashionable Friday to you !

Fashionable Friday : Ode to a Grecian Yearn

If you're longing to shake your booty in Mykonos, today's Ode to a Grecian Yearn illustration is for you.

We'll wear our skirts long and our heels low.  Barefoot is not recommended in case of plate smashing, but there's always someone willing to throw caution to the wind. Better that than confetti.  And on that note ...

Happy Fashionable Friday to you !

Beware of Greeks Wearing Shifts

29.12.09


ink & watercolour illustration, 8" x 5.5" [20 x 14cm]

Blue skies have "feel good" vibes stitched invisibly into their linings.  I love sunny days, but our current wet weather has quickly greened my garden into an oasis {minus the camels ~ more's the pity}, so I'm happy for this rain.  But it really brings down the aesthetic I was going for with my washing.  There's no way I can pull off this look at the moment.  Not even if I had the whitewashed villa with cobalt shutters to go with it.

After I showed Alexa Awash in Venice a couple of months ago, PopCultureNerd kindly emailed me some beautiful photos from her holiday in Mykonos, Greece.  It seems that all washing scrubs up nicely when strung up in front of a villa {somewhat like dressing men in tuxes}.  Thank you for the lovely photo inspiration, PopCultureNerd ~ not only are you a source of wit and wisdom on all things pop culture, but you take a beautiful photo {in all ways}!

Please, join me if you can, no matter what the amount, by clicking on the ChipIn button over in the little widget on the top right to help raise $50,000 by mid January to help provide warm beds, love and care for the 16,000 abandoned or neglected animals expected at the RSPCA Victoria's animal shelters over the Christmas period.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who's already donated!  Here's more info...
