I was chatting with a close friend of mine recently and mentioned how I've had this idea for a while....I'd love to take regular snapshots from honeymoons and create pieces of art! They don't have to be the best pictures in the world, with the best coloring, or perfectly cropped because all those things can be adjusted in the painting process.
So, we went over and opened my friend's honeymoon photo album and found a great shot...it was taken from the balcony of their hotel room in ITALY. It really was a beautiful picture, but even more than that, it was an image that could instantly take them both back to that balcony...to that moment in time...to the beginning of their marriage. All I had to do...recreate it as an amazing piece of art!
When I was finished, my friend brought the painting out to show her husband (who didn't know anything about my little project) and he instantly recognized it...then suggested they open a bottle of wine, snuggle up on the couch together, and watch their wedding video :)
That was possibly the best complement to my work that I could have heard!
The painting has been framed and hung. It's always fun for me to see my work (art or photography) framed and hung in a home...it's like they've been dressed and they're finally complete.
Would you like to commission your own piece of honeymoon artwork? Just send me an email and we can discuss the details.

Last August, I was invited to be part of a photography show at The Park Place Gallery. I'm still extremely excited about it since it's the first time my work has been displayed in a gallery! On my way to the show, I had no idea what to expect; I wasn't sure anyone would be interested in the photos that I'd chosen to display and I thought I'd be taking the photographs home with me at the end of the night. Well, I learned something about art that night: that people actually LIKE pieces that are personal to the artist and have a story to accompany them! For some reason, I always thought that art had be 'neutral' to be enjoyed by others. I also found out that my work could stay up for a while. I thought they'd just stay through the holidays, but they're still up...and they can stay as long as the gallery employees keep hearing positive comments from their clients and the pieces keep selling...woohoo!

I'm so excited about this job! While trying to decide what should be painted in this western themed room, the mom said "Well, we love Colorado. My husband's always saying 'Look at the prairie grasses!' and I'm always looking at the mountains." So, I went online and started googling Colorado mountain images and found the PERFECT picture...beautiful mountains and prairie grasses. I love that it's not only the perfect combination of what the parents like, but it also fits the western theme, will not interfere with the room arrangement (the prairie grasses go from the floor to about 6 inches above the bed posts), and it's also time and ageless! Frank is 3.5 years old right now and I really wanted to do something that he wouldn't outgrow.
