Girly Girls

Another girly-girly day of fun and beauty.  I have so much fun at these spa-type events.  When I can reconnect with what it was like for me when I was a child ~ Just pretty girly stuff was requested this time.

And the girls were so connected with each other.  Heart to heart.  Sharing.  Many of the girls choosing the same designs as each other.  I don't mind.  I feel happy to decorate each child.  I feel happy to encourage their developing sense of themselves as beauties.

at the Salon

Here I am again. At a Salon. Face-Painting little girls. Little girls with dreams.

This group was super-interested in Peace-Signs and Hearts. Intriguing to me to watch the trends. Because I recently had two Caricature jobs which requested 'Beatles' type influence. One had asked for everyone at the Party to be drawn on one large paper - something like the cover to the Sargent Pepper album. And the other had asked for a Studio Caricature of a man on a motorcycle - mentioning that he really likes the Beatles so could it look something like 'the Beatles cartoons' (whatever that is - I figured just Peter-Maxx-influenced - perhaps something like the cover of the Magical Mystery album or like the simple/perfect Caricatures we recognize as 'Beatles'). Anyway, the trend seems to be 60's influenced these days. I even saw an ad in Cosmopolitan Magazine this morning for 'flare' pants (aka bell-bottoms from the 60's). I like this trend. I feel happy to paint this way.
