"The Royal Respite": Created in one of April's favorite locations, this image is the reflection of both the relationship and content nature of her subjects' sisterly bond. In the garden portion of the painting, inspired by the French Impressionists, you can see how the brushwork was developed to move the admirer's gaze from subject to setting and back again.
Each cameo portrait is a deeply personal work of art, masterfully photographed and fully oil embellished by Portrait Artist April Graves – blending techniques from yesteryear's master painters with today's modern technology. These treasured renderings are created to be handed down from generation to generation... an inspired heirloom that will one day belong to your child, carrying forward the love and story you share.
With all the Bridgerton buzz lately, I can’t resist sharing one of my favorite photo shoot collabs. I’ve recently been asked to perform for numerous Bridgerton themed events. Not only do I play the part, I delight in looking the part as well.
It was a truly a DREAM team that put this look together. My incredibly talented seamstress, Brynda Streff (FB Angele Designs) designed and hand made this period costume. HMU by @rosiehunterartistry was right on point for an authentic vibe, and the beautiful concept and photos were captured by @lightdrawnstudios .
