Last Sicily 🇮🇹 photo post before I start to

Last Sicily 🇮🇹 photo post before I start to rollout my new illustrations, I promise 😆!! Chartering a boat from Porto di Giardini Naxos to visit Isola Bella, Blue Grotto, and dive into the Mediterranean was/is without question the highlight of our trip 🌊🛥⚓️!! There is simply no better way to experience this destination.

It was so incredibly special sharing each of these moments with you in real-time and making them part of the grid for posterity. I’m going to be putting a guide together for Travel Write Draw too but first I’m itching to get all this inspiration down with paint and paper!! Bear with me darlings!! The best is yet to come. #ProseccoPrincess 4ever 😝.

All my love, xx MM

Mt Etna 🌋 and the Sicilian coast 🇮🇹 at su

Mt Etna 🌋 and the Sicilian coast 🇮🇹 at sunset, as seen from the exquisite terrace of Belmond’s Grand Hotel Timeo!! Still can’t quite believe I witnessed this with my own eyes. We spent several hours at our table overlooking this view as Etna exhaled to our left and lightning lit up the sky to our right ⚡️. She is one of the world’s most active volcanoes and in a near constant state of activity. Taormina, Sicily, you are an absolute dream xx MM

LIDO LA PIGNA PERFECTION 🌊⛱🇮🇹!! This st

LIDO LA PIGNA PERFECTION 🌊⛱🇮🇹!! This stunning beach club is nestled into the idyllic Mazzarò Bay and offers one of the most quintessentially Mediterranean menus we came across while in Sicily. Mouthwatering prosciutto e melone 🍈, followed by grilled squid 🦑, and a refreshing Campari spritz🍹!! DIO MIO!!

We rounded off our day by hopping over to the magical Belmond Hotel, Villa Sant’Andrea, right next door for the most divine aperitivi. We watched the sunset over the glistening jewel tone waters and pinched ourselves to ensure it was all real. To think this time last year I couldn’t even leave the US, leaves me speechless. Forever grateful!!

All my love, xx MM

Absolutely, positively, captivated by the Sicilian

Absolutely, positively, captivated by the Sicilian Ceramics I’ve found all over Taormina 😍👏🏼🇮🇹!! The potted heads in particular instantly caught my eye and begged for further research. Hand-painted, brilliantly detailed and beautiful, but their alleged origin is perhaps even more compelling.

Legend has it that a young Arab man in Palermo, named Moro, fell in love with a gorgeous Sicilian girl. They had a heated romance until she discovered he already had a family back home. That night she decapitated him and turned his head into a flowerpot which inspired these designs. Talk about a crime of passion 😱!!

The artwork on the more common home decor items are often designed around more traditional Sicilian themes like shellfish 🦞, lemons 🍋, flowers 🌺, and the symbol of the Sicilian flag, Trinacria. I for one want one of everything!! Do any of you out there know more about the origins of Sicilian ceramics?! So incredibly fascinating.

All my love, xx MM

Bedda Matri, Sicilia 🇮🇹!! I had no idea I’

Bedda Matri, Sicilia 🇮🇹!! I had no idea I’d love you as much as I do!! I haven’t returned to Italy since before (*cough*) the unmentionable happened, and I’ve never appreciated it more, or felt as grateful and inspired as I do today!! Thrilled to be exploring Taormina for the very first time with one of my most amazing friends in the world, @jonnysawitfirst. I cannot wait to share more from this adventure with you all!!

All my love, xx MM

Never NOT matching with my surroundings 😝💗💛💙. Took these pics coincidentally on the only overcast day we’ve had in London so far since I arrived 😆. But these pastel candy painted houses beg to be photographed with or without the sun, am I right?! Thank you my darling @vivianazajac for the snaps. So happy to be back in my LDN flow again ✨ xx MM

Darlings!! Join me as I sketch from the sculpture

Darlings!! Join me as I sketch from the sculpture room at @vamuseum with my lovely friend @olyaosipova_art 🥰🇬🇧✍🏼. Did you know you can walk in free of charge, grab a chair, and spend the afternoon sketching away?! What a gorgeous way to reacquaint myself with one of my fave museums in the world. Watch from start to finish to see what supplies I brought to sketch on location and how I approach my illustrations on the spot.

All my love, xx MM

Here’s looking (up) at you, London 😍🇬🇧!

Here’s looking (up) at you, London 😍🇬🇧!! Is it just me, or are some of the best views of this city experienced by simply tilting your head up by 45 degrees?! Happy to report that my phone screen time has dropped by 25% since arriving in this miraculous city. Whether consciously or not, I’m spending way more time marvelling at everything around me in real time 🥰. And damn does it feel good. Sending out lots of love to you from the heart of the inferno xx MM

Not the most iconic London photo to kickstart my summer posts with BUT I did get to use my @TravelWriteDraw x @Geometry.House beach towel 🌊⛱ for the first time this weekend. I think that’s certainly worth the main feed 😆!!

We are heading into quite the heatwave this week and I’m finally renting a flat here with AIR CON!! Thank goodness 🥳!! Still figuring out where else I’d like to visit this summer while staying in London. Any thoughts or suggestions welcomed below!!

All my love and stay cool out there, darlings xx MM

#TWDPaintChallenge

A freshie piece titled “Red City Bougainvillea” 🌺🇲🇦🌸 I created for new licensing collabs, turned into a great IG stories poll this week. The painting, which is inspired by my beloved Marrakech, appears almost like two different works in slide 1 and 2. The first image is the photographed version of the painting, and the second is the scanned version. And I can’t FOR THE LIFE OF ME decide which version I prefer more 😩!! So I’m turning to you, friends!! Which version do YOU prefer more? 1 or 2?

All my love & happy long weekend!! xx MM
