A date with a big white dress ~


I did this portrait of my sister in law, Kelly,  for her for Christmas.   I had such an amazing "date" with her dress at her mom's house. I just sat and studied it with my sketch book. I was just like curling up with a good book in front of a fireplace.  the lace was so intricate and so beautiful. the motifs on the dress never really repeat. it was as if the lace just grew that way and was pruned back perfectly symmetrically by a very crafty gardener.   i have a feeling this isn't my last portrait!

 so much love :)
