The new background...

Many of my clients have been photographed on the beautiful "watercolor" background I had painted by local artist, JoAnn Vincent. I used it for all of the Tulips & Tutu sessions. It's beautiful and truly one-of-a-kind. I'm very proud of it.  But you probably don't know the artist. She has been doing lovely florals and landscapes for many years now, and has just survived breast cancer for the SECOND time. She had a double mastectomy  in October and finished chemotherapy about 6 weeks ago.

She's feeling strong enough to paint again, so I pulled out a blank canvas and put her to work! The photos below show the new masterpiece-in-progress. We decided to work on it in my studio, in the light for which it will be used. I am thrilled with the results - and in awe of the talent and strength of this woman. Thanks, Mom.
