New obsession - custom paintings!

I found Missy's Portraits a long time ago via a giveaway on some blog.

I've wanted a painting ever since, but they're pretty expensive and I'm cheap.

In March, though, she did a half off thing all month so I snagged up an 11x14" for $100!

I was so, so excited when I sent her the photo I wanted to use and when I got it?

HOLY CRAP!

This lady has some legit talent, people.

Here's the painting I got.

Uh-mazing, amiright?

This was John's birthday gift, actually.

Kaetana is 3 months old, and wearing his favorite fuzzy hat.

I love it more than most things I own.

So, naturally, when I stumbled across another giveaway for a "mini portrait" (5x7)

I jumped right on that shit.

And won.

This is from my favorite photo of me and John.

It's Valentine's Day 2009.

I love these paintings so much, and know I'll cherish them forever.

**Disclaimer: I had no incentive to write this post and got nothing for it. I just wanted to share these paintings and the crazy talent behind them.
