    Yellow Baby Moccs – A Nursery Painting


    2014 - 07.13

    As a mommy to one adorable Giuliana, I have a great group of fellow mommies on Instagram that I love to follow who create handmade baby items! A super cute trend that I love is the baby  moccasins!! There is just something about those cute little baby legs wearing brightly colored baby moccs! I love how my daughter inspires me <3 I created her a 5″x7″ Yellow Baby Moccs painting, and matted it to 8″ x 10″ and put it in her room! I LOVE IT!!! I can’t wait to create other in a variety of colors and have them up for sale in the soon to be Etsy shop! Until then, email me for your custom pair!!

    Underwater Wahoo Painting – Fishing Boat Painting


    2014 - 03.14

    Happy Friday, everyone!!

    Here is the latest underwater wahoo painting!

    The client wanted to get this painting for her husband as a birthday gift. She wanted to incorporate the charter boat that her husbands grandpa once owned in Fort Myers Beach, FL. She also said that her husband loved to catch wahoo. With those ideas in mind, this is what I created for them. :)

    “One Happy Island” – Aruba Painting


    2014 - 03.11

    How great is this: Did you see my previous post on the Allure 8901 Wedding dress a husband bought his wife for their 1 year wedding anniversary? WELL, the wife contacted me 1 hour after him, saying that she would like to get HIM a painting for their 1 year wedding anniversary…without knowing that he was getting her one too! I believe that this is an example of true soul mates!

    They had gone to Aruba for their honeymoon, and Gia, the wife, wanted to incorporate some special memories from Aruba into a split-view painting- The Giwi Tress, Black Stone Beach, the shipwreck that they dove, and a hidden “G+W”.

    Here are the results!

    Custom Wedding Dress Painting- the “Allure” 8901


    2014 - 03.11

    Custom wedding dress paintings are my absolute favorite things to create for brides!

    This one was no exception!!

    Do you remember the “Looe Key” underwater grouper and coral painting that a bride bought her her husband as a wedding gift? For their 1 Year wedding anniversary, the husband bought his wife a custom wedding gown painting as her gift! (See my next post to see what she got him!)

    The background color is a blush pink, which I picked up from her blush bridesmaids dresses.

    The wedding dress is the Allure 8901 Style Wedding Dress.

    She found a photo of some black and white calla lilies, and asked me to recreate it for her onto a canvas.

    Here is the finished Acrylic White Calla Lily Painting – 30″ x 48″ x 1.5″

    Shrimp Boat Painting


    2013 - 05.24

    Hi All! A Facebook friend of mine who lives in Savannah, GA, posted a photo of some Shrimping Boats in a Harbor, and I really wanted to recreate it with a little bit of a different perspective. The setting is sunrise, with a warm glow bouncing off the weathered shrimping boats, docked in the harbor. I named the shrimping boat painting “Safe In The Harbor”. It is 24″ x 48″, acrylics on canvas, and it is available for sale!

    Snook In The Mangroves Painting, Custom Snook Painting


    2012 - 10.27

    It has been a long time coming! I have waited to post this painting for many months now, and I am so happy it is complete, and up in its new home! My great friends, Jenny and Mark, really wanted a custom snook painting.They wanted one that was lurking in the mangroves, one or two that were in action. I fish with my husband when I can, but I wouldn’t call myself a fisherman by any means. That being said, I wanted to do a lot of research to understand the snooks environment. I researched the mangroves, the sea floor, the water reflections, the way the snook’s body moved, and researched what they ate. When it comes to custom art, most people have a picture they want copied, but since this was from scratch, I have to admit that I painted this painting, and then painted it again. I must have done the surface reflection 5+ times! I would work on the painting, and then just stop for weeks because something was missing or didn’t feel right, and I didn’t want to continue without figuring it out first. When I completed the painting, I just KNEW it was done! It just felt right! :) I hope you enjoy the painting as much as I do!
