Watercolor Wedding Invitations
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.

Lemon Invitation is now available in the Hand-Painted Weddings Invitation shop.

The other day I walked into Whole Foods and saw a display of these outrageously cool fruits! I had never seen anything like them before! Well, maybe at the aquarium amongst the coral reefs. As soon as I saw this fruit I knew I had to share it with you all on this blog because it is just too cool not to share.
I learned from the cashier that this fruit is called a Buddha’s hand, which tickled my fancy because it does look like a hand reaching out (albeit with tentacles). The skin was lemon-like in texture and had a strong citrus smell. To be honest, I did not eat the Buddha’s hand, but I had a lot of fun painting it!
2013 will be the year of love here at Hand-Painted Weddings. I intend on approaching everything in my life with an open heart. On a personal note, 2012 was majorly exhausting as my to-do list was unforgivable. This year, my focus will be on the contribution and the love it contains.
I am going to treat this intention like I treat my intentions during yoga class…I have created the intention and now I’m going to let it go. Give it to a higher force, bigger than me, and see what happens.
Wondering what this painting is above? It is actually a zoomed in painting of a very unique find I purchased at Whole Foods the other day. Check back in tomorrow to see the full painting.
Happy New Year! Happy 2013! May your year be filled with love!
