About this piece:
Allison also painted this beautiful portrait of Julie that you may recognize.
Her new piece is reminiscent of another night sky piece of Allison’s which Julie had bought from her. What inspiration did Allison draw on for her new piece for this auction?
“I wanted to paint something that shows the world how Julie portrayed it. Beautiful, peaceful, inspiring.”
