Drawing Request: "Donna"

Name: Donna Grace Garcia

Age: 23

Location: Boracay Island, Philippines

Nationality: Filipina

Occupation: Cosmetic Shop Supervisor

When this cousin of mine saw the fashion illustrations I have posted on my Facebook page, 

she was also one of those girls who wanted to see her reflection from a work of art!

At one of our chats, I asked her to tell me about herself, and she replied with a laugh,

"Let's see, what's nice about me? I'm an awesome mom. I have a great sense of humor. 

I'm kind and sensitive. And I look amazing for my age... LOL"

Donna lives in one of the world's famous beautiful tourist places, the island of Boracay in Philippines. 

     She enjoys her free time as a mom to her 1 year & 9 months son named Kyle.

When asked if what is her fashion style, she mused in her dialect:

"Pawala",

it means "disoriented!".=)

I was offered a job by Karen Gelbard of The Oregon Weaver to take photographs for the fashion show of the Gathering of the Guilds that was held at Oregon Convention Center in Portland...I proudly accepted it!
Oregon Convention Center is the largest convention center in the Pacific Northwest.  Has 50 meeting rooms, 255,000 square feet of exhibit space, and can handle events of any size, from 10 to 10,000.

Below were my shots...

A fashion show featuring models who are representative of the many walks of life one encounters in their daily landscape. The models speak to those who can afford and wear excellent handcrafted garments made from only the finest hand woven materials.

...'And the best thing on that day was a surprise from Karen!  She gave me a blue poncho and a neck piece ( reversible) that was hanging from her booth, all worth $250!  

The design was named "Cloud Blue".

Karen weaved the fabric and sew the garment which made these pieces very special.

I would like to thank this lady, ...it means a lot to me!

I am already missing the sun and could not wait...there's a lot of things in Oregon that makes me dream...not just the availability of Asian foods nearby but also the warmth and the sun shine.

Here's a cloudy day at the tulips farm.  This was also the 3rd day of celebrating my son's 3rd birthday.

(vintage double breasted coat, vintage fringed vest, Bubblegum skirt,

earrings from Arizona, Sperry boots)

This is such a lovely tourist place to visit!  

Plenty of fun things to see and enjoyable for kids and adults.
