In the Studio: Whimsical Hot Air Balloons

Can you believe it is almost fall (I can’t!)? It has been such a lovely summer so far…I’m not quite ready for it to end yet! To keep the lovely summer vibe going, I thought I would paint this whimsical watercolor of hot air balloons flying above the plains.

There is something so magical to hot air balloons. I don’t often see these colorful hot air balloons flying overhead now that I live in the city….although, most days, I do see the Channel 6 Zooballoon above the Philadelphia Zoo!

This week is going to be a warm one in Philly, so I plan on soaking in the last bits of summer and then start embracing the next season, my favorite, Autumn!

In the Studio: Hand-Painted Baby Shower Invitation
- June 28, 2013

One thing I treasure the most about being an artist is being able to provide a custom invitation for a loved one. This particular invitation is for my sister-in-law’s baby shower. It is a surprise shower (shh, don’t tell) so I am working with my mother-in-law on the invitation. The invitation is based on the theme of the items she registered for. This is a totally appropriate theme for them, because my sister-in-law is quite the musician. She sang at our wedding, and it was such a beautiful addition to our ceremony.

She is expecting a baby boy, who will be named Jordan Tyler, at the end of September. I have had many friends who have had children lately but this is the first baby in my husband’s and my immediate family, so I am going to be an Aunt! Crazy!

If you are interested in working with me on custom baby shower invitations, please inquire here.

Did you catch my sneak peak watercolor heart painting from Instagram yesterday? If not, simply follow me on Facebook or Instagram to stay abreast of all the goings on around Hand-Painted Weddings.

Today I’m excited to share this lovely artwork I designed featuring a modern watercolor heart combined with hand-painted calligraphy type. I am selling these items as well as prints at various sizes from 8″ x 8″ to 28″ x 29″, stretched canvases, and ipad and iphone skins and covers through my new Society6 shop. Society6 is a shop that thousands of artists around the world contribute to. They take the artwork and are able to produce it on these various mediums, such as the pillow above (my favorite) and sell them to the world. It is a great opportunity to get a super unique iphone case or stationery set…and the prices are very good!

The origin of this artwork was a birthday gift for a dear friend of mine who is smitten with hearts. Whether you are spiritual and take this message as you are loved by the universe or a power larger than you, or you send this message to a sweet friend, family member, or significant other, this message will spread great joy.

If you are interested in purchasing one of these items, click here to go to the Hand-Painted Weddings Society6 shop.
