A seaside wedding

I'm returning to my hometown at the seaside next week for my best friend's wedding.
I've known Louise since I was three years old. Here's a picture I painted of us a long time ago...that's Louise on the right.

Louise is a twin. As children, we were often referred to as 'the triplets'. We were pretty much inseparable... 

Here we are...spot the scruffy 'shabby chic' one! C'est moi!

These days, however, many many miles separate us (549! I've counted).

We're lucky if we get to see each other once a year, but when we do it's as if nothing's changed...the best kind of friendship, I think...

Louise kindly asked me to design some of her wedding stationery. Here's to the bride and groom! May you enjoy many years of love and friendship of your own x

A big hello from a first-time blogger!

Well, here goes...my first blog! I'm Lucy Smith and I'm a freelance illustrator, specialising in greeting card design and personalised children's paintings.

 

                                  

                               

Love Lucy Illustration began when people who liked my Phoenix Trading cards started asking me if I could paint personalised pictures for their children. Of course I jumped at the chance and now here I am!
