    This week I’m working hard on preparing for the Lovesick Expo this Sunday!! I can’t wait to meet everyone at the expo. It’s going to be a blast.

    I’m enlarging this painting I did a couple of months ago as a gift for my cousin and her husband. I purchased the frame for it yesterday and I’m going to be hanging it on my backdrop at the expo.

    Contact me if you are interested in pricing for a commissioned watercolor. This would be beautiful as art on your Save-the-Date or framed at your reception, which would, of course, look gorgeous on your wall after your wedding.

    My husband took this candid photo of me painting with his Iphone. I want to take more of these and share them with you! I think they are super fun!

    Hand-Painted Invitation: Lemon Yellow

    • by

    Lemon Yellow Invitation by Hand-Painted Weddings

    The Hand-Painted Lemon Yellow Invitation is inspired by the Buddha’s Hand fruit. It is bright yellow like a lemon, but has geometric shapes that represent the fingers of this unique fruit. This invitation would be great in conjunction with a lemon themed wedding, or any sunny summer wedding.

    I also love how the watercolor shapes in this invitation resemble a stained glass window with the white borders looking like the grout between the panes of glass. More specifically it reminds me of the stained glass at the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. For those of you who don’t know, the Sagrada Familia is a cathedral designed by the artist Gaudi in a very gothic style. It is one of the most unique cathedrals! I visited the cathedral about 9 years ago, and have very vivid memories of strawberries and other fruit used in the sculptures, and I remembered how bright and beautiful the stained glass was!

    This invitation beautifully bridges a modern and more traditional aesthetic with its mix of geometric shapes, soft watercolor splashes and hand-painted lettering.

    The Hand-Painted Lemon invitation is now available under the Invitations Shop.

    Still inspired by the unique fruit I found at the grocery story, Buddha’s hand, I’ve decided to create a bright and fresh lemon yellow invitation. The inspiration for a lemon yellow wedding is a breath of fresh (warm) air during this super cold day in Pennsylvania. It is making me yearn for summer and a tall glass of lemonade.
