"While working on my family tree, I became interested in those family members of whom I had no photos. I had piles of records, but no image of what they looked like. I began trying to create a visual reference for them in my paintings. Some of my paintings are inspired by these distant relatives of mine..." (Alissa Studio's Profile)
This is my favorite paint sold by Alissa Studio. I love the way Alissa captures the civil war look!
Here is an up-close view of Joy.
This painting by Alissa Studio was inspired by an old photograph of Alissa's great great great grandmother, Caroline.
Here is the whole painting of Caroline.

I am amazed at how the women dressed then. It must have been terribly hot and uncomfortable for them. I love your blog. It is such an interesting time that you write about.
I love those! What a great idea.
I also wish I could buy one of your dresses, I'm forever looking at them at Etsy!
Alison, I thought you would like the Art! I think they are so much fun!
Your welcome to buy one of my dresses anytime!! (I also make custom dresses!)
I'd love to. I'll have to save up though and think about what I'd like. I can just see me swishing around the castle in one :D
I've nominated you for an I Love Your Blog award - which I do!
