If I am not making something I will pretty much lose my mind. :)

wedding dress painting - vintage suit


I was commissioned to do this piece before the holidays and I absolutely love it. I do a lot of wedding dresses and baptismal gowns, this is one of the more interesting outfits I've done in a while. It was worn by the grandmother of the recipient. Couple of thoughts:

  • I am in love with the cut of this suit. The jacket is like a perfect S-curve. 
  • From a painting perspective, it was fun to do something with more ink and paint to it - I usually do a white dress on white paper. You don't exactly get to throw down the color for that, so even though this was in greys and blacks, it was fun.
  • I like how the silver ink pops.
  • Hats!
One of my new years goals is to document my work better. Probably the last 10 pieces I have done have gone undocumented - I get so excited to deliver the finished piece that I just skip it. And then of course regret it later.
