A COLLECTION OF WEDDING DRESSES THAT INSPIRE ME TO PAINT








































































































































































































































I have aways been in love with the soft grey's of the French, so subtle with just enough blue to keep it chic like all things French!



































if i could, i would eat purple
love, love, love every shade of the colour!






























































and all that is feminine 
from early spring
blossoms reflected in fabric
 the soft textures in washed wood and stone
love the subtle opulence of this setting
and the honesty of savon de marseille
country style at its best

the anticipation of a wedding day
drama of the bride

beautiful white peonies

perfect art
laduree eclair
iceberg rose petals

beautiful anne hathaway























the ever eluding french grey, neither green nor blue



natural textures inspire me, cement, wood, glass and greenery


nothing as beautiful as the detail of a couture dress


the balance of muted colours never seize to inspire me


the flow, the form, the colour!


all white yet nothing white, love


every line in this composition is pleasing


elegance in a plate
