Friday night Freeman's Auctioneers and Appraisers , the oldest auction house in the country, hosted Studio Incamminati's week long Celebration of Art leading up to a Royal Wedding Tribute with "nationally syndicated radio host Michael Smerconish" interviewing Princess Diana's Chief of Staff Patrick Jephson. Jason and I were fortunate enough to both attend the opening reception. Here we are with Nelson Shanks' portraits of Princess Diana (Source: Studio Incamminati).
Fun Fact:

...the second painting was completed after Diana's unfortunate death. I had a personal "hand" interview with Nelson myself. I was this close to being a princess! Every girls dream! So what if it was only her hands. While Nelson was scrutinizing my hands, I remember him saying, "That'll do." I held my head up high at his approval of my princess-like hands. In actuality my hands are rather large for a female, but of princess-like quality of course. Unfortunately my schedule did not work with Nelson's schedule. Damn you nine to five.
In more positive news, Jason's I Heart Gourds still life was one of two pieces that sold on Friday night! I'm such a proud trophy wife! Here we are with the painting above us.
