Did I mention that my closet fell apart? Yup, the bar that held up all my hanging clothes fell right before I went on vacation and to be honest I haven’t had a chance to fix it yet. That and I’m a renter so I’m having issues with the idea of fixing it myself, which my landlord seems to think is appropriate. That and I’d rather paint. And the point of me telling you this? Is that yesterday when I was gazing at my colorful array of clothes neatly hanging outside of my closet on a temporary garment rack, I noticed this pink and orange and red color combination on one of my skirts that instantly inspired this painting, new character Serena and all. You see! (I remind myself) there’s inspiration in every experience if you just take a moment to stop and notice or in today’s soon to be overused, but still so true vernacular, "be present".

Serena is now available as a print over at Etsy.
