Behind The Scenes
Here is the latest custom wedding dress painting! Do you remember the wedding gown painting, “La Sposa – Devesa”? The same client contacted me for her other sister’s wedding! Her sister loves the color Canary and Navy Blue. This is a painting for the Watters Greta wedding dress, and a photo that she took with Roderick Photography on her wedding day!
Enjoy!

Hi! A great season customer of Enzo’s Italian Restaurant, who lives in Copperleaf in Bonita Springs, wanted some copper leaves painted for this home there. He found three leaves one day, and sent me the photo to create into a painting for him. This painting is done in metallic and iridescent paint, so it changes tones as you walk around the painting. We decided on the teal and copper colors since they compliment each other.
“Copperleaf” – 24″ x 36″ on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

This is a gift a bride got for her new hubby for their wedding today!
He loves diving, and sees groupers, yellowtail snappers, and Florida lobsters on his dives down in the keys. I created the underwater grouper painting / coral reed painting for them as a result, with other painted sea life to bring the painting to life!

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!

IT IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR!!! That is right! I just finished my two day painting event for Third On Canvas 2013! The weather in Florida was absolutely PERFECT for the event! I was lucky enough to paint next to Popo Flanigan, who is so nice and was a joy to work next to.
For last year’s Third On Canvas event, I painted orchids and got label as “The Orchid Lady”. In keeping with the name, I wanted to do orchids again this year. However, I stepped up my game this year and introduced RESIN to the artwork!
I started by painting a wood board a Sea Foam green color, then poured on resin, painted my acrylic orchids on top of this resin coat, and then added a top coat of resin to the painting. This gave a great “floating” effect, with a natural shadow.
Here are some photos of my White Orchid Painting on Resin, and my Purple Orchid Painting, as well as some fun photos from the day!

This is one of my favorite paintings that I did, mostly because it was a painting that I did in my free time.
I used Oil Paints in a stick form, on wood board, to create the waves crashing here on the Florida Gulf Coast. This Gulf Coast Painting was then coated in epoxy resin…one of my FAVORITE things to do! I loveeeee resin!
Here is the final product:

This was an exciting painting for me to try, because it was something I had not done in the past. My good friend, Ashley, found a digital image on google of a world map that looked like it was made out of water. She wanted me to try to recreate it for you with a 3D effect.
To create this effect, I used a modeling paste called Structura, which I then tinted to the color of water.
Here is the 3D World Map Painting on Canvas:

This has been a post that I have been wanting to post ALL summer long!! Now the time has arrived!! Do Me A Favor Event Concepts, a Naples’ company specializing in custom invitations, stationery, welcome gifts, and elaborate details, asked me to create artwork for a custom wedding logo, that would be used on custom napkins, coffee mugs, wedding invitations, water bottles, favors, and much more! The concept was to use lilies in a heart shape design that was unique to the Bride and Groom’s personalities. The designs were then used on all things involved in this very special wedding! The design created for all of the custom wedding invitations for the Naples, Florida wedding, were hand painted!
This was a very special and unique opportunity for me and I am excited to show you some of the final products below!

I am so very honored to be given the opportunity to painting a birthday gift for the “President North America” of Christian Dior Perfumes and Cosmetics – Terry Darland. What a wonderful woman! I was asked by the account executive of Christian Dior, Lourdes Vazquez, to recreate a childhood memory for Terry. I found out that one of her favorite memories growing up was visiting her grandmother down in Naples, Florida, and watching the sunset from the Naples Pier.
Since the pier is nice and long, I wanted to do a panoramic painting on a 12″ x 30′ gallery wrapped canvas.
I started out doing the sky and clouds, then on to the water, and lastly, the Naples Pier.
I drove up to Saks Fifth Avenue in Sarasota on 11.11.11 (great wish come true!) to present this gift to her at her luncheon.
I hope that you all enjoy these photos of the Naples Pier Painting at Sunset as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Today I bring you my newest custom wedding dress painting! I was contacted by a girl from Connecticut who wanted to get her sister (who got married TODAY!!) a custom wedding gown painting to give to her as a gift on her wedding day! The designer is Pronovias and is called “La Sposa – Devesa”
Her sister’s favorite color is orange, and the wedding colors were going to be amber, brown, oranges, gold…so I wanted to tie those colors into the painting.
This painting is 11″ x 14″ acrylics on canvas, with a textured background.
Hope you enjoy!
