A Splurge on Jewelry from Lisa Amato

I don't spend a great deal of $ on myself, but I decided to splurge a bit & get these earrings & pendant from Lisa Amato...love the photo! Available on etsy.

Summer weddings...

Another commission finished for a summer bride. If you or someone you know is interested in having a portrait done of your wedding dress, or perhaps a prom dress, communion, etc. feel free to contact me & be sure to check out my store on etsy!

Inspired by Vera Wang

Vera Wang is by far my favorite dress designer...I don't think there is a dress I don't like or love of hers! The 4th photo shows a recent commission I did for a customer of a dress by Vera Wang's White Collection available at David's Bridal. The ruffles were a challenge, but I am thrilled with the end result. If you or someone you know is getting married, or celebrating an anniversary, why not commission a custom wedding dress painting? Feel free to contact me or visit my store on etsy. A great gift idea!

Love is in the Air...

I've been crazy busy the past few weeks with several commissions, including this wedding dress portrait of a dress by Alfred Angelo (Sapphire Style 870)...absolutely LOVE this dress & am so pleased with how this piece turned out! We are also preparing to move in 2 weeks to Kentucky! I reckon I will need to brush up on my horse painting skills! If you are interested in having a portrait done of your wedding dress or know a bride-to-be feel free to contact me and/or visit my website at Studio Lara to view more of my work!

Always a Bridesmaid...Until Now! ;)

I've so enjoyed creating these custom wedding dress paintings the past few months! This is a dress by Galina for a bride in North Carolina. If you or someone you know would like their wedding dress immortalized in oil, feel free to contact me and/or visit my store on etsy!

Wedding Keepsake Paintings for a Bride in Cannes, France

Such a priviledge to create these special keepsake wedding paintings for brides all over the world...this set is for a bride in Cannes, France. If you or someone you know is interested in having a painting done of their wedding dress, shoes, bouquet, or cake, feel free to contact me or visit my store on etsy! And yes, I still do pet portraits as well :)

Flower Girl Dresses for a Wedding in June

These three little dress paintings were a true pleasure to create! The customer also wanted them personalized with each little girl's name so I also added a couple little flowers to give the overall piece an added 'girly' feel to it. If you are interested in having a special piece done feel free to contact me and/or visit my store on etsy.

Goin to the Chapel ;)

I've been busy as a bee with commissions one of which includes 3 flower girl dress paintings :) So fun to paint and a great gift idea, personable and unique! If you are interested in having a special piece done for you feel free to contact me or visit my store on etsy.

Love is in the Air. . .

I've really enjoyed painting a number of wedding dresses lately for brides & brides-to-be...a perfect, personable gift I reckon! If you are interested in having a special piece created for you or someone you know feel free to contact me! I also have a page on facebook you can follow & flickr! :)

Adorable Kids Furniture by Wayfair (formerly CSN)

I have had the pleasure of working with CSN Stores, now known as Wayfair, this past year doing some great giveaways as well as some reviews of their wonderful products, so when they asked if I would be interested in doing another review I jumped at the chance!

Wayfair has over 200+ stores with all sorts of products for you, your fur children, and your home. They have some of the most adorable kids furniture such as the bright, turquoise chair above. I also found these pretties!:

And of course this art table is a favorite as well! ;)

Be sure to check back for my review of a product from Wayfair in the next week or so! And feel free to check out all wonderful gift ideas on Wayfair! You won't be disappointed!
