My 'gift' to A Place to Bark...

My gift to all the pups rescued by Bernie Berlin...

from now thru Christmas $10 of every 8x10 & 11x14 print 

from my etsy store

will be donated to 'A Place to Bark'

...helping to save lives,

 is there any better gift to give?♥

The Rainbow Bridge...

I've been blown away at the interest in my Rainbow Bridge painting, but I reckon it has hit a spot so many of us hold in our hearts for those precious pups that we have lost...I believe whole heartedly they will be in Heaven...I can't imagine God would create such loving creatures for it not to be so.~Lara

 I'm so moved by what Bernie Berlin does for animals in need, I have decided to donate $10 for each 8"x10" & 11"x14" print sold of my Rainbow Bridge Painting from my etsy store to her rescue
'A Place to Bark'...she is truly an angel here on earth.

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.

So Blessed...

So blessed to do what I do ♥...from a customer whose Grandmother is dying of cancer:
Hi Lara,
I can't thank you enough for the painting. It arrived at my mom's house today and my grandmother absolutely loved it. She kept saying how much she loved what you did with the eyes and how real it looked. My mom said my grandma fell asleep holding on to it.
Thank you again.

Custom Wedding Bouquet Paintings in OIL

I've been busy all summer with pet portraits & wedding dress paintings, but I also have had a few wedding bouquet commissions as well...such a great way to remember those beautiful flowers from your special day! If you or someone you know is interested in having a custom piece done of your wedding dress, shoes, bouquet, and/or cake, feel free to contact me and be sure to check out my store on etsy! You can even register on etsy now! :)

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!

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! I also do portraits of the cake, wedding shoes, and bouquet! Feel free to contact me or visit 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!
