Story time: Back in 2023 I received 2 orders that were oddly similar. It didn’t take me long to piece together that it was a couple ordering paintings for each other. They both requested the location that they met in 1993! I always wondered what happened on Christmas Day when they exchanged gifts.

Well for the holidays this year their son reached out and requested a gift for him mom and let me know that his parents had both placed an order from me. I quickly put it together and had to ask him how it went when they exchanged. He said it went like this…

“My mom gave my dad the gift the first words out of his mouth were. “Well this is awkward.” - Needless to say as their son it was very heart warming to see!“

Truly the sweetest family, clearly full of love for each other. And I’m so glad to be a part of their story ❤️

So many holiday orders and most of them have one thing in common… BRICK. So much brick, I think my hand is going numb. But it is very much worth the effort! It’s the details that really bring to life each painting. Sometimes I step away and they look like a picture! 🧱🧱🧱

The paintings so nice, I had to do them twice…

Okay but truth is USPS did me dirty. The first one arrived completely mangled, damaged, and unusable. So I had to re-do it! I may have shed a few tears over it, but so happy with the outcome and the 2nd round was even better! Luckily we had plenty of time before their wedding.

These are 5x7 prints for wedding tables. I painted the originals and then made copies for them to use. Listing available on Etsy.

2025 goal is to post more than once a month… starting in June! Sending a reminder that wedding season is here 💍

I loved working on this series of photos. The inspiration photos were stunning and I could not be happier with the final project. Now who else wants something like this for their bedroom?

It’s rare that I get to paint the same place twice! 2025 vs 2023… I love being able to see how my style has developed. D...

It’s rare that I get to paint the same place twice! 2025 vs 2023… I love being able to see how my style has developed. Do you notice the differences?

And has anyone ever been to this restaurant? Clearly it’s a fan favorite!
