Wedding Dress by Diane Bronstein

This is a watercolor of the back of a wedding dress-- I think it would be a great idea to use this as the Thank You Note for Weddings-- that way the bride could show her lovely dress one more time.  If you would like a painting done of your wedding dress email Diane Bronstein at StopandSmile@mac.com

Ocean Before The Storm- Santa Monica California

This painting was done in Santa Monica using watercolors.  While I was working on the painting it was calm but shortly after  the painting was done the storm came rolling in.  I used watercolors because when you are painting on location you have to work quickly and accurately right form the beginning- it keeps the air in the painting- just the way you feel on the beach.
The size of the painting is 4 1/2" x  5 1/2"  with a white matt around the painting the total size is 11" x 14"  
Original-Total price is $125
