Rainy Day Girls

Meet Mary Grace and Elle.

Commission: Mary Grace and Elle


I've been having so much fun working on this painting!

I met their mother last spring, at the Buckhead Arts Festival. She saw La Parapluie and fell in love, so we put our heads together and and started planning. If you are interested in a commission, I would love to work with you too. Just drop me a line and I'll get back to you.

Soon these precious girls will go to live in their new house in Atlanta. I'm really going to miss them!
