Isn’t she lovely? Isn’t she wonderful? …the other day I started sketching my sweet baby girl. I can’t believe she is going to be 1 in a little over a week. Although it went by quickly, I am the first to say it seems like forever ago. I’m just glad she’s here, she’s mine, and…

The names have been changed in order to protect the SURPRISE element of this painting. So…a childhood friend of mine recently sent me an email telling me about her twin sister’s new home. Her sister and brother-in law just celebrated their wedding anniversary and she thought a nice way to commemorate the date was by…

Five years ago today I married my BFF, Mr. DDS. Long before we got engaged I saw this picture, and knew that would be my wedding dress. An Amsale dream come true. I was in grad school in NYC at the time I got engaged, and as soon as I could I made my appointment…

OK—so I had some issues with my skin color here…I promise I was not dipping into the self tanner! Anyhow I’m knee deep in school visits for the museum so I had to dress the part for one of Miami’s top prep schools today.I will say this week you may get 2 “wardrobe” sketches because…

Last week I shared my first birthday gift sketch for the Preppy Mafia Queen herself, Beth. This week I would like to show you the final color sketch before I dive into the actual birthday painting. It will be watercolor on paper, but I will go into “Wardrobe Wednesday” mode with it and label out…

My gubby Chris came over tonight for dinner…and he inspired me to sketch him and post a “Manly Monday”. What can I say about Chris? He is so adorbs! He is an incredible talent, the most incredible organist/pianist you’ll ever meet. He’s a splendid cook, he’s drop dead adorbs, fit, and dresses impeccably! Did I…
