The sad trio

Just finished painting the trio's emotional close up. They're supposed to be happy creatures in the story, but it seems I've started with the sad side of them first. I kind of enjoyed painting the little "fur" effects.

Sketch: Flowers

Dear Amanda,

I recently visited the Legion of Honor to see the "Cartier and America" exhibit. It was awesome! I will have to go back on a less busier day to avoid the crazy crowd but it was worth it to see all the beautifully designed jewelry. I couldn't imagine anyone actually wearing them though! Oh, and there was a separate room that had sketches done by Cartier artists, and in one of them, I found a hand written note by Elizabeth Taylor requesting some changes. Must be nice! :D

Outside the museum, I found a little hidden trail led to a great vista point of the Bay. You could see the Golden Gate Bridge from there. I took my time testing my new camera and found some plants (above) that inspired me to sketch. I instantly thought, "They would make a cool ring design!"


I'll probably use this sketch for a Gocco print or a collage, instead of a jewelry piece, though. ;)

Wish we can go to museums together, Amanda!

Love,
Jinnie
