I am excited to be working on a new Name Portrait: WEDDING. I have two other designs: LOVE and MEMORIES that are wedding themed. I am happy to be adding a new picture to my collection.

I will be participating in the Winchester-Frederick County Studio Tour on November 12 and 13th. I will be at Gallery One in Winchester, Virginia. Please contact me for further information! It will be a lovely event.

I cannot believe summer is nearly over! Look for my wonderful ad in SOUTHERN LADY MAGAZINE. Christmas will be here in no time!

I am working on a new personalization project where I illustrate the mat with things about the person or picture. I am excited about the possibilities!

Hi…I am taking orders for DAD. I can personalize the picture with any message. DAD is available as a card or matted picture. Visit my facebook page Name Portraits by Charla for sample!

I cannot believe I have not written anything since February. I did complete the Irish Welcome. I really love how it turned out. It will be pictured on my website soon. Don’t forget to check out my page on facebook. I am there as Name Portraits by Charla

I worked all day at Gallery One designing the Irish word for welcome. Tonight I will place it on illustration board. Hopefully I can complete it before Saint Patrick’s Day!

I am enjoying working at home and not being on the road…although I really really miss my friends and talking “in person” to treasured customers. However, I have been working on my studio, getting it organized for the next round of new pictures. I am also working on a project for a recent high school graduate. I am incorporating many of his interests and experiences into the picture. It is a challenge but fun.

I will be at Gallery One, 385 Millwood Avenue, Winchester, Virginia on Saturday, February 12 from 10 AM To 3 PM personalizing valentines in pen and ink. Please come by!!!!

I am still taking orders for Valentine’s Day. I created a new valentine: ROSE I can personalize this picture with a name and a valentine message. You can see the Rose picture on the site. I can also send you the valentine version via an email attachment.
