More of Melanie's bridals

The picture of Melanie on the car is because her new husband loves Subaru's so we thought that'd be a fun pic for him. 

Bridals.... :) I'm really proud of these. I think i may start marketing myself as a wedding photographer.-Click on any of them to make them larger.

Here are six photographs that i took for Melanie and Jake for their engagement photos.  ... I am quite happy with them!!  What do you think?

Today is one of those days where being in my studio is like finding out who i am again; cleansing of my soul; acknowledgment of one of the things that brings me peace.

"The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting." ~Vincent Van Gogh

"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures."
~ Henry Ward Beecher

"A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art."
~ Paul Cézanne

"If you hear a voice within you saying, 'You are not a painter,' then by all means paint... and that voice will be silenced."
~Vincent Van Gogh

Here's a multi-person portrait of some lovely young ladies from Cleveland, Ohio... I love this family so much.  Its funny how you can go from not knowing someone to being deep friends in the matter of days. That's how i feel about "The McCartney Girls"s mother...   

I finished this portrait around May-June 2008.

Here's another image of my art studio.   The monochromatic painting in the frame of the boy in a choir robe, i just finished and sent to the Client in Alaska.   She said, "The Portrait is beautiful. The frame is perfect. ...I did absolutely the right thing when i got together with you to do Eric's portrait.... Thanks Molly  - Barbara."

Out with the old; In with the new.

Here's a cute image of an informal photo shoot that i did of a friend, Cloe. I will draw this when i get some spare time.  It's just so darling. 

Here's a better image of the painting of Alexandria... Even still i am always so disappointed at how different paintings look on the web compared to in person.  ... Oh well, I am very excited about it. I love it.  It shines.  I can't wait to finish it and  send it to the clients.
