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!

Vintage Wedding Dress Portrait in Oil

I've been busy as a bee this summer not only on several commissions, but my husband was given a job promotion so we packed up & moved from Michigan to Kentucky! Enjoying a fresh start in a new place & one that isn't too far from 'home'...only 6 hours from Michigan. This is a piece I just finished of a vintage wedding dress. If you or someone you know is getting married, already married, celebrating an anniversary, why not have a portrait done of their wedding dress!
