Tropical Girl

I was so inspired by the colors and patterns of this whole outfit with the bird-of-paradise flowers, I just had to illustrate Tropical Girl!  

I was still frozen solid from having the AC blowing on me all day at the office, that I imagined she lives in a colorful paradise of blue skies, turquoise warm waters and white sand.  Ahhhh ...

And she spends her day under a palm tree, with her fab hat on, in the warm ocean breeze, gazing into the blue horizon while sipping on water from a freshly open coconut ... and not between four walls in front of a computer screen ;-)

Here she is, in-progress
