• Hand-Painted Invitation: Autumn Leaves

    I know it is a bit early to be so excited for fall and that I should probably just enjoy every moment of summer while it lasts because summer is a pretty freakin’ awesome season too, but I can’t help myself!

    This invitation is perfect for an autumn wedding! Autumn weddings have become more and more popular here in the northeast the last few years. I tribute that to a lot of couples adoring fall foliage as much as I do. The bright colors in this invitation can’t be beat!

    I hope everyone has a great weekend! See if you can spot your first autumn leaf!

    Note: The Autumn Leaves Invitation is available for purchase under the Hand-Painted Weddings Shop Invitations tab!

  • Inspired by Autumn Leaves

    As you have probably noticed, I love zooming into my paintings. I love seeing the brushstrokes and the gradual, organic flows of color. I love that when I zoom into my paintings they create this brand new abstract composition. I am flirting with the idea to create a wedding invitation (or a series) that are more abstract interpretations of objects….stay tuned.

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

  • Work in Progress: First Autumn Leaf

    While doing a brief hike this past weekend I spotted by first brightly-colored autumn leaf! If you know me at all, you know that I am head-over-heels smitten with Autumn. I am a big-time “leafer“. I love the bright-colored leaves, the smell of burning leaves, pumpkins, butternut squash soup, spicy beers, brisk mornings, and potted mums! Needless to say, I was pretty excited when I spotted this leaf….my first sign that my favorite season is around the corner.

    What I love about this leaf is that it looks like the red is slowly creeping over the green in the leaf and taking it over.
