Last weekend, I went to see
The Honey Trees once again; this time with my fabulous friend Toni who is a friend of the band. I had been planning on doing gift portraits of Becky and Jacob for a while, so a few weeks prior to the show, I started scouring every thrift store in the area for a nice pair of frames.
I didn't find the perfect pair until the day before the concert, and I couldn't start painting until I knew the size of frames I was working with, so I quickly got to work on the watercolor portraits and finished them just in time to frame them and wrap them up to take along with me to the show. I used some of the pretty mustard yellow tissue paper from the
package that
Sue sent me.
The Honey Trees were opening for a band called
Bonnie Dune. An actor from Glee is the drummer in the band, so the venue was a lot more packed and a
lot crazier than it was the
last time I went. However, I was able to take much clearer photos this time around, and I'm so pleased with how they turned out. Here are some of my favorite shots of the night.
After the show, I gave Jacob and Becky their portraits, and hooray, they loved them! They were even kind enough to mention my Etsy shop on their Twitter. I'm so glad I've sort of gotten over my extreme shyness and was able to talk with them. They're wonderful people, and I can't wait until they record their full-length album.
I finally had the perfect opportunity to wear my
Starlette Crown, and received tons of compliments on it all day. During their set, Becky looked down at me in the audience and said she liked it. One girl even said it was the best part of the night, haha.
Jose and I also went to see Jacob and Becky perform an acoustic show last month, which was gorgeous. Super-unfortunately, I didn't bring the camera, so I only took pictures with my phone. Someone else took
this amazing photo though.
I also bought these prints of Becky's art at the acoustic show.
You can buy other prints of hers on Etsy and Big Cartel.
