Balloons

These modern day “art” balloons seemed appropriate to post for a Friday. I really liked this one of Van Gogh and the castle. Pretty cool. Since these were emailed to me, I’m not sure of the web source but it may be from this site: http://www.uphaa.com/blog/index.php/air-balloon/.

Here’s an update to my previous post on Coney Island. Seems like the Smithsonian has acquired a piece of its history with the Star from Astroland — another fun up-in-the-air thing.

Here’s a blast from the past to Kick Start the weekend — Up, Up and Away by the 5th Dimension:

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
