Carrie from Hello Sailor is a very talented artist. She’s a brilliant painter, and I could read her writing forever – her words just carry your eyes. I also love her sense of humor, quiet and sly. So yeah she’s gifted.
You might have seen my post about a painting that she named after me called ‘Sandee-Day of the Dead Girl – Dia de los Muertos.’ Well I of course ordered it, and it has arrived. The package was addressed to Auntie Sandee – so cute! That’s it, up there.
I was totally teary-eyed when it came. One of life’s moments to be cherished. Sharing beauty and kindness from sea to sea — from the UK to west hell, er, I meant, the USA. Beautiful.
I think I want to get a red frame for it. Maybe lavender or purple. Pink wood?
I’m threatening to paint my walls teal and to get pink shades. I was influenced by a movie with a riverside apartment painted blue and there were pink window shades. Only my walls will be teal. So I need to pick out a compatible frame color.
Let’s see how long it takes before I embark on this project of getting painted – I hate that kind of stuff. First I need to take down my Halloween decorations — ba haha! See ya!

Oooohh…pretty.
I know right?! I can’t wait to put it in a frame and hang it up. Lovely…
Black mat, red or pink frame. Will look good on your teal walls.
You know I was gonna ask readers what they thought. Thanks for your suggestions — after all you are a stylist! I’m leaning toward red or pink…
Why take the Halloween decorations down? Put a santa hat on all the pumpkins/scary looking things and you’re good to go!
MFE — this is exactly sort of what I did one year. I plan to post about it actually. We’re on the same wave length!
teal walls and pink shades.. I need to see pictures of that. I love Carrie and her blog. Your painting will look awesome
I know right?! Sounds odd, but I went to a party once and the women had teal walls with a view of the George Washington Bridge at night — it was fabulous. We’ll see… The pink shades I don’t know about yet, I’m just imagining it would be okay because of the blue and pink combination in that movie — I’ll test it out first of course.
What a great surprise! It’ll look cool on your wall.
Oh I can’t wait! Thanks Lisa!
very pretty of you Sandee! teal walls?
Hehehe… Teal’s actually nice on walls from what I’ve seen. It’s dark but my walls now are somewhat dark, like terra cotta colored.
actually teal is one of my favorite colors. The best most awesome car I have ever had was Teal!
That must of been really nice on a car — I can imagine it.
it was!
Auntie Sandee,
La Sailor is a great artist. And she did good with you… She did real good…
Le Clown
Thanks L’Eric! I believe she did real good as well! I’m lucky to have this painting in my possession…
Oh I like that..alot..
Thanks Lynne — it’s really nice in real life — I’ve been looking at it online for so long.
Gorgeous. The blogging world never ceases to amaze me.
Sweet comment! It’s incredible. When I started blogging last March I had no idea that I would meet such cool people… In fact I actually met Margarita from Serenity in the City and Mike from Heylookawriterfellow last week for lunch — we had a blast!
She captured your beautiful spirit beautifully, Sandee! Actually, I think she captured your beauty, period! xoxoM
Aw, thanks Margarita!
Lovely painting. “… from the UK to west hell …” — well put.
Hehehe! Well, at least I have a nice painting to distract me from the horrors of ‘west hell’.
It looks just like you — you know, like Pam Grier!
Seriously, that is an amazing painting.
Ahahahaha! Well, she has my essence at least. I could use a couple of her assets! It is really amazing.
