Seeking Shade . . . and Inspiration

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.
