Rustic, gold foiled wedding at Front and Palmer

January 14, 2016By AllisonReal Wedding

Jill and Poya were one of my favorite couples from 2015.

Work in Progress: Leaves Study

November 1, 2012By AllisonWork in Progress

Before the storm blew through, Carl and I went for a walk around the neighborhood to gather some beautiful Autumn leaves. They were a lot of fun to paint while cooped up indoors the last few days.
