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
