Happy Monday!
Greetings from Florida! I thought I’d take a break from working on my tan (I know, hard work, right?) to post a vacation update.
Although my friend Shannon and I are in Florida at the moment, our US tour actually began in Chicago. We spent four amazing days eating our way through the city. We also saw some incredible art and made time for shopping too (of course!). This was my second time in Chicago and I’m happy to say that I loved it as much as I did the first time around. The city has so much to offer and the people are so friendly.
Today I thought I’d share five of my favourite photos from the trip.

As always, thanks for reading White Cabana!
Does Jeffrey Campbell make cool shoes or what?
Jeffrey Campbell Skate, $189.95, SoleStruck
Jeffrey Campbell MR, $139.95, SoleStruck
Jeffrey Campbell Tick, $169.95, SoleStruck
I know I probably wouldn’t be able to walk in any of these shoes but they are such great pieces of art that I would be happy to display them on one of my shelves or perhaps under a glass cloche.
It’s been at least a year since I painted anything and this fact makes me a bit depressed as I used to paint quite often. But time has moved at lightning speed this past academic year and it’s only now that I’m finding more chunks of time to paint. Here’s a piece that I worked on last week.

After my visit to Gallery 78 in Fredericton, I walked over to the Ingrid Mueller gallery.

This modern gallery with white walls and a striking black ceiling definitely caught my attention. Inside, works of artists from the Atlantic provinces hang on the walls. Pieces of pottery and jewelry are also housed in this beautiful space.
