Pretty in Pink

Following my previous bridal post,

I thought I'd share a few photos of my beautiful sister and her fiance!

I did this mini photo shoot of them before they ran off to a formal benefit 

The dress is Betsey Johnson (borrowed from me, I still haven't had a chance to wear it yet!)

and I put a hot pink flower from our garden in her hair just before she left

I love the story told in the shots,

-the kiss, the realization that they just did that  kiss in front of our parents, and then the,

oh well, for the sake of photography, part two!

...rightttt

Enjoy the shots, and I'll post a shot of her gorgeous  Tiffany's engagement ring soon!

Hurricane

"I wanted so badly to lie down next to her... Just sleep together, in the most innocent sense of the phrase ...  But I lacked the courage and ... I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating, So I walked back to my room thinking that if people were rain, 

I was drizzle & 

she was a hurricane"

Cinco de Drinco

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!  I thought I'd celebrate by posting a painting I did recently of a baby Patron bottle.  When I saw this bottle in the market it was just too adorable to resist, I had to get it (and a few more mini tequila bottles!).  But this bottle was my absolute favorite, I loved the old world looking cork, the shape of the glass, and the silver metallic label.  Being an avid Alice in Wonderland fan, I had the idea to modernize the 'drink me' bottle Alice finds at the bottom of the well and I made a matching 'drink me' for my baby patron bottle.   The painting is oil on canvas and the original is roughly 11 x 14 inches.  It was my first attempt at a photo realistic style, and I based the imagery on a photo I took at my school photography studio.  The orignal photo is fantastic as well, but I love the fantasy, vintage flare the painting has.  Prints are available upon request, and tell me what you think!
