Seeking Shade . . . and Inspiration

Friday, August 15, 2014
Out and about today for an "artist's date" in Palm Springs.
OH YES!  IT'S HOT!




I'm seeking shade . . . and inspiration!


Today, I explored a hip local nursery filled with 
handmade gifts, desert plants, fountains, artsy little benches and sculpture.






After, I cooled off with an iced soy latte beside the cool waters of a trickling fountain . . .






and sought shelter from the blazing sun!



This little chapel was so magnetic, I had to stop for a looksie.
All the little old ladies from the neighborhood were filing in for mass, 
so I didn't peak inside - I will do that V. VERY soon!



Aren't the mosaics lovely?


Further down the canyon, I dropped by the local art oasis for a small cache of supplies.
No more slugging paints and brushes and art journals from beach to desert for me!

I discovered this journal filled with canvas!  
What!  Have you seen these?
Now I'm off to play.


Enjoy what's left of summer y'all!
Stay cool.
