Dior, Chanel... and More - Fragrance of Paris!

Hello My Friends! I hope your October is treating you well!  In fact, I hope it's downright inspiring!
Inspiring still life - Miss Dior 


You see, I love October because it means I'm in the home stretch.... I can celebrate my accomplishments over the last 10 months, and kick myself into gear to make the best of what's left of 2014!

Oh ...and of course, fall is my favorite season. When my dearest friends celebrating with sweaters, leggings, and everything pumpkin in New York,  I'm sweating it out on the prettiest beaches of Florida in sunglasses still. 

Cheers to a happy October, wherever you might be!

Valentine's Day Inspired Collection and Custom Portraits

Pin It  Hello My Friends! Valentine's Day is just around the corner and today I have a special treat for you. This sweet Valentine's inspired collection for this special occation may be just what you like. If you interested in seeing more, please go to my shop.


I have been busy of the past two weeks with a few custom portraits and general abstract commissions. But before I show you some of my latest work please watch the video.   This is so true to my life lately is not even funny.

Here are some of the highlights of my completed and nearly completed pieces. Don't you think that they are precious:)  I still can't get those sweet little faces out of my mind!





And this is from my recent bridal and anniversary custom illustration: 






This is how the custom portrait process works: Then you send me an email or convo from etsy shop telling me as much about the people as you want to - the little bits help: personality, silly stuff, stories, all that. You send me photographs.  Depending on my current schedule, it can take up to 2-3 weeks after you buy the listing for me to complete the piece and mail it to you. You will receive one 9x14 sized original watercolor. The piece will be signed by me unless you request otherwise.

Check the images above to see if you like my style. Image here is a good comparison of photograph and final piece. As you can see, I work in a loose, impressionistic/semi-abstract style, so you will NOT have an exact reproduction of your photograph, but rather a loose interpretation based on what you told me about your subject and the images you sent me.

As always love, hugs, and the sweet wishes to all! 
xx, Lana

"In the right hands, a flower will always feel fresh. With my art I see inspiration in the flower, especially the elegant peonies. I strive to interpret nature and make it my own. Best of all, these will keep their bloom all year round."





"I don't sketch what I'm going to do when I begin an abstract piece. My art just flows from me, to my brush, and then to my painting.  What I leave out is just as important as what I put in."
