Love is in the air ;)

This portrait was so fun to create as the bride-to-be had commissioned me to create a couple paintings for her bridesmaids & unbeknownst to her, her Mother had commissioned me to do a painting of her dress! Needless to say she cried, she loved it...job done ;) If you are interested in having a portrait done feel free to contact me and/or visit my Wedding store on etsy! 

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!

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.

New Year...New Projects! :)

I thought after the Christmas rush that my January would be a bit quiet, but wow I couldn't be more wrong! I've been swimming in a sea of commissions some of which include custom wedding dress paintings, personalized Mom's nest paintings, a book cover, pet portraits, and a possible 8 book children's series! I feel beyond blessed to be so busy, true the stress can be a bit much at times, but I just need to remember to take a few moments here & there & just breathe! Continued blessings to you & yours in 2012!
