I know your in the middle of moving and getting settled in your new home. But when your ready to get started I have a piece I would like to get a quote on having it painted. I believe your in the Sacramento area. I’m in Grass Valley.
Awesome! Yes, will be @2 weeks or so before I start working again. Go ahead and message me only Facebook or Instagram page with a pic, dimensions, and an idea of the look you are after and I can give you a quote
Hi Brandy,
I don’t do Facebook and couldn’t figure out how to send a private picture thru Instagram.
I know I’m giving away my age. Lol So If you could send me a email address we could work thru or another suggestion that would be great.
I am in the Sacramento, CA area. I am a stay at home mom of 3 young boys, our schedule is crazy so I dont currently teach. Videos are the easiest way for me to share and I have a ton on YouTube
I just wanted to tell you what an inspiration you have been to me! I only started painting about a year and a half ago, and I absolutely love it. At times I get frustrated as I am 62 years old and, while starting something new at any age is an intimidating prospect, it is particularly so for someone who generally considers herself to be in the “old dog, new tricks” category. I look to your videos for guidance and you have not let me down yet. One question I have concerns taking pictures of your pieces. Do you have them photographed by a professional? It seems impossible to get the lighting right to capture color, as well as detail. Thank you so much for your great teaching videos as they have given me hope that maybe I’m not too old after all!
Regards,
Cynthia
Thank you sooo much for the sweet message! I’ve always used natural light and my cell phone for pics, nothing fancy. I took them outdoors in front of my garage and now have a staging wall in my workspace with great natural light. There are artificial light kites you can buy, but nothing compared to good ole sunlight
Brandy, I just want to say THANK YOU not only for your guidance and sharing all that knowledge, but also for your sweet spirit and willingnesss to go over stuff (as many times as many ways as it takes) Youre continuously sharing with us your knowledge in the paint “S.K.I.L.L.S!!!” department-and girl….do you have skill…..more than you know, but I also wanted to give you my sincerest gratitude for showing YOU. The biz the, the boys, the hubby, the customers…..I’ve seen your video over and over and i have never seen a woman, let alone a woman in OUR business, show love love love and always so patient. I’m sure we all have moments “off screen” but even in the mess and chaos, that is the life of any creative you have become the role model of how I would like to come across in the biz, but also my real life. If our home isn’t set in love and patience from us….than I know the rest of my life would not even be a fraction of what it could be, what it should be. Love respect patience creative willingness resourceful – just some of the things that I have seen in you and my family can see in me now. All because you decided to share your knowledge and life with the world. I also learned that courage isn’t about doing something cool or dangerous physically but it’s about. Doing said thing in front of the world who only will accept you or hate you…..well keep your beautiful spirit and never. Let the would change you and never stop sharing your mad skill, my friend
With all my love

You literally just brought tears to me eyes, that has to be one of the sweetest, most genuine messages I have ever gotten. Words like that make this all worthwhile!

I saw a picture on Pinterest of a beautiful Bombay night stand that you painted. Do you have a tutorial video for that piece? Thanks!
