  • Made My Day: White Peach

    Happy Monday!

    I picked up this beautiful white peach yesterday at the farmer’s market. They were the first of the season and I can’t wait to bite into it tonight!

    My friend, Sarah, has wonderful memories of eating sliced peaches with milk and sugar during the summer months growing up in Lancaster, PA. I think I just might try that tonight!

    Have a peachy day! (Couldn’t help myself!)

  • Made My Day: Peonies

    This bouquet of peonies made my day, so I painted them. Peonies are fairly challenging to paint because of they are relatively monochromatic and have tons of layers to their petals.

    I clearly have a thing for painting flowers. I believe it has to do with the bright colors, the portability of the subject matter, and the organic nature. It is for these reasons that I will be adding a section to my shop where you can purchase my flower painting prints.

    Enjoy your day and be sure to smell the flowers!

  • Made my Day: Homage to my Husband

    Painting by Hand-Painted Weddings.

    This blog post is a little homage to my wonderful husband, Carl, who surprised me with a dozen yellow roses last week at work and who again surprised me last night with second row tickets to the theater production, Beauty and the Beast. Do I have the sweetest husband or what?!

    He delivered the roses personally to me at my office last Wednesday. It was so cute, because it was maybe the second time I ever held a meeting in my office instead of the conference room, and a VP, Associate VP, my boss, and my coworker were all in the office to view the adorable gesture. They were just-because flowers, which really are the best, aren’t they?

    The Beauty and the Beast tickets were birthday presents, but I had no idea how close the seats were going to be until we were walking up the aisle. The production was fantastic! The roses are still blooming beautifully! And after 10 years together (2.5 years married), Carl and I couldn’t be happier!
