Background

My Watercolors

I love creating original, custom paintings, to capture special places, people, and events, available at http://www.etsy.com/shop/ColorsByLaurie
I am writing about the process as well.  Check out the "Watercolor Journals" label at the right.
 
PERSONALIZED MONOGRAMS

Personalized Monograms 

These paintings are tailored to represent someone special, a memorable event, or any significant theme. The client and I enjoy brainstorming ideas for the background.  As an example, this particular painting was a wedding gift for a bride who chose Cherry Blossoms for part of her decorations.  A new last name, and a nice memory.









ARCHITECTURAL PORTRAITS



Architectural Portraits

Homeowners can have their very own original watercolor of their home, or because they are so personal, they make wonderful gifts as well.  A Place of Business portrait, is a great retirement, or promotion gift as well. 









WATERCOLORFUL NAMES
 Watercolorful Names

I love to create these special scenes for the children. I incorporate their name, objects beginning with each letter of the name, and a little boy or girl.  There's no end to the ideas and fun we can come up with as we celebrate kids.
