What’s your favorite forecast? Mine comes from my favorite day. The day I married my best friend, surrounded by my nearest and dearest, at a place I love. I hear my bridesmaids quietly enter my suite, tiptoeing around and crawling into my king size bed to wake me up so I can experience every minute of the day ahead. One friend lay next to me, stroking my hair, reading verses to me so I could have my quiet time and to gently coerce my eyes into opening up for the day. Another has me look out the floor-to-ceiling windows where the Maine coast sunrise fog is rolling over the balcony creating a fond curiosity of what the day would have...
The 4th of July has always been a favorite holiday of mine. My family is what makes this holiday so special for me. Every year my whole family gathers at my parents house. We swim in the pool, grill steak & salmon, eat strawberry shortcake & set off fireworks! This 4th of July is a little bitter sweet. It is my last 4th with all of us in Maine in the home I grew up in. My parents & sister are moving to Florida at the end of the Summer so we are planning one last shebang before the big move. We are going to miss their company, hosting skills & holiday gatherings in this beloved home. However, we are excited for their...
One of the biggest challenges I encountered when opening my business was a room full of paintings, and no way to photograph them at a quality high enough to reproduce for prints. And trust me, I tried. After trying to use my Nikon camera, a tripod and a white backdrop, I ended up looking like a complete idiot with blurry, shady photos that looked nothing like the actual product… I quickly realized I couldn’t photograph the artwork on my own. The time to learn my camera, the cost of the equipment, the space we needed to photograph, and so many more factors made me realize that I couldn’t do this on my own. Many prayers and a few days later,...
Commission paintings are one of my absolute favorite things to create in my studio. The neat thing about painting a commissioned painting is that I already know the home in which it is going before I start in on it and it helps me know my customers in a deeper way, which I really enjoy. Thoughtfulness Each piece has a lot of thought behind the request. Whether you are buying it for yourself to decorate your new home or for a loved one’s birthday or a friend for Christmas, you have given a lot of thought to this gift you are giving or receiving. I applaud you for this & I am truly honored to be a part of this...
