"The Wedding Dress" by Artist Kellye Nakahara Wallett
Kellye was walking down Holly Street in Old Pasadena window shopping when she came upon this wonderful boutique with an enchanting window display. Kelley took out her small sketch pad and made a sketch of the window display and went back to her studio to capture a Wedding Moment. This would make a wonderful giclee (print) for framing, bridal shower gifts or thank you cards - -
the possibilities are endless.
