VIDEO- Yves Saint Laurent Exhibit 2024

Last Sunday, my husband and I went to the Orange County Museum of Art to see the "Yves Saint Laurent: Line and Expression" show. It was excellent and I am so glad we were able to go.

Here is a video I made sharing our experience. Check it out.

Yves Saint Laurent was a famous French fashion designer known for his YSL and Saint Laurent brands. After reading his Wikipedia page, he was quite a trailblazer in couture and ready to wear designs.

As we walked the museum, we saw Saint Laurent's beautiful sketches and fashions. Before we got there, I was excited to see the gowns but the sketches surprisingly captured my attention. Seeing his hand drawings really personalized this global icon into a regular artist with extraordinary ideas.

As a growing artist, his work inspired me to dream bigger and practice my sketching. Also, it was interesting to see his creative evolution from dark to vivid colors and styles.

I hope you watch this video and feel inspired to be more excellent in your life work, too. Enjoy!

Bravo, Mr. Yves Saint Laurent! Bravo, Orange County Museum of Art!

Relaunch of Our Business

Kelly & Ron Roberts Today, Ron and I are announcing the relaunch of our K. Simone Designs business. For those of you that are new to our work and site, click ABOUT US for more information. In short, we started our business selling my handmade greeting cards in 2011. We sold and donated lots of cards and enjoyed bringing smiles to our customer's faces. In 2019, we took a long break.

Our goal with all these creative products is to inspire others with love, hope, joy and peace. Here are so...

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and ...

Happy Hearts

Today I will be sharing one a several painting I recently finished. This one is one of my favorites. I wanted to try two faces and just love how they turned out. It was fun going crazy with the multi-colored background. The hearts were made using my new favorite thing to make from toilet paper rolls- STAMPS. I saw them on Julie Balzer's blog. Toilet Paper Tube Stamps Then I used my fingers to paint the inside of the hearts. So neat! Take a look and I hope you feel the love and joy in this piece. Aren't the afro's fabulous!!! LOL! They were my first try and look pretty darn good. The little girls afro puff is so cute and reminds me of the ones I had as a child. I love the hearts on their clothes. I used my stencil to make the design then painted around just to show the insides. Hope you enjoyed and come back this week to see some other paintings. Have a good one!
