    A Small Tribute to a Great Man

    Here’s another personal wedding photo I’d like to share with you. This one is very dear to my heart, especially now that my dear grandfather has passed on. I love this man very much. He was a very light-hearted, smart, tenacious man who I like to think I got a little bit of my entrepreneurial spirit from. He started a travel business in Philadelphia; it was one of the first companies to push vacations in Jamaica. He’d always brighten up when talking about Jamaica, or about his stays in Italy. I’m very lucky to call him my grandpa.

    Thank you for your patience these last couple of days as my family works through this transition. Warm regards, Allison

    Life is Pretty Amazing

    I’m feeling a bit uneasy today as my grandfather is being put on hospice care and has only a mere few days left in his life. He will be very missed by family and friends when he takes his last breath in this life.

    This whole process makes me think about this beautiful photo/illustration/quote that I pinned a few weeks back. Life is pretty amazing. Take the time to stop and look around at its splendor.

    In the Studio: Painting my Bouquet from Lovesick Expo

    In the Studio by Hand-Painted Weddings

    The bouquet I put together for the Lovesick Expo on Sunday turned out so pretty! The colors worked beautifully with the Hand-Painted Weddings logo and the textures were stunning. In the studio today I am painting pieces of this lovely bouquet.

    The flower I am painting in this photo is very unique; it almost looks like it was stripped of its petals. I am actually not even sure if it is a flower or foliage. I don’t mind either way…sometimes the foliage is more interesting than the flowers to paint.
