It’s my baby’s 19th birthday.

I remember the day I found out I was pregnant with you like it was yesterday. It was one of the best days of my life, but the day you came into this world 19 years ago was definitely the best day of my life. Thank you for choosing me to be your mama. It’s my favorite title, role and experience.

I love you Reese Bradley and I hope you keep having the best birthday week ever. I love you whole heart. Mean it.

This one was also so much fun to paint and capture in watercolor. I love the beautiful Faith Chapel on Jekyll Island. It’s inviting, full of history and I hear the stained glass windows are gorgeous too.

Historic buildings are my favorite. ❤️

There’s just something special about Jekyll Island. 🤍

I had a conference at Jekyll a couple of weeks ago and I captured a few sketches while I was there. The historic architecture is just breathtaking on Jekyll — and I knew I had to turn this one into a watercolor painting. It’s just too magical not to.

I loved painting the beautiful Jekyll Island Club Resort—one of those places that feels like it holds a thousand stories within its walls.

Maybe you’ve spent a weekend here, celebrated a wedding, wandered the grounds beneath the live oaks, or simply have wonderful memories of visiting Jekyll Island over the years. That’s what I love most about painting places like this. They’re not just buildings—they’re part of our stories.

My watercolor painting of the Jekyll Island Club Resort is now available as an art print, professionally printed from my original watercolor.

It would make a beautiful addition to your home or a meaningful gift for someone who loves Jekyll Island and Georgia’s Golden Isles.

✨ 8×10 watercolor print

🎄 LAST CALL FOR CHRISTMAS COMMISSIONS! 🎨

If you've been thinking about having a special place painted for someone you love, THIS IS YOUR SIGN!

I'm getting ready to close my watercolor commission calendar for Christmas, and this is your final chance to order a custom painting for holiday delivery.

🏡 The home where you raised your babies.
❤️ Grandmama's house, filled with childhood memories.
⛪ The church or venue where you said "I do."
🌳 The family farm that's been passed down for generations.

I'm not just painting buildings. I'm painting the places where your favorite memories were made. And I can't think of many gifts more meaningful than that!

Each painting takes time, and I only accept a limited number of commissions so I can give every piece the attention it deserves.
Once my Christmas commission calendar closes, that's it for this year!

Don't wait until November or December to start thinking about Christmas gifts - it will be too late. Reserve your painting today at https://nataliebradley.com/shop/p/custom-home-painting

Thank you to everyone who has already trusted me with your special places. I can't wait for these paintings to find their way under your Christmas trees!

🍂☕️ STARS HOLLOW IS HERE! ☕️🍂

Where are my Gilmore Girls fans?!

I had SO much fun painting this one.

My newest 8×10 watercolor print is a little trip through Stars Hollow and includes some of our favorite places from the show:

☕️ Luke’s Diner
🍂 The Stars Hollow gazebo
🏡 Lorelai & Rory’s house
🐉 The Dragonfly Inn
💃 Miss Patty’s School of Dance
…and more!

There’s just something about Gilmore Girls that feels like fall to me—the coffee, the books, the changing leaves, the small-town charm, and a town that somehow always has a festival happening. 😂

I wanted this painting to capture that cozy, familiar feeling you get when you turn on an episode you’ve probably already seen 14 times…and happily watch it again anyway.

The finished artwork is now available as an 8×10 professionally printed watercolor print and would be so cute in a reading nook, office, dorm room, coffee bar, or gallery wall.

And if you have a Gilmore Girls-loving friend on your Christmas list…well, I think we just solved that problem. 😉

🍂 The Gilmore Girls watercolor print is AVAILABLE NOW at https://nataliebradley.com/shop/p/gilmore-girls!

It’s been an incredible week at Jekyll Island. I’m going home today with so much inspiration for future paintings. Jekyll Island

I forgot to share this one. 🥹This summer, my mom, daughter, and I made a trip up to Clayton, Georgia, for a girls’ trip in the mountains.

On the way, Reese and I had to stop at one of our favorite places – Marti's at Midday in Athens. It’s a special place to me because not only is the food fabulous, but working with Marti (when she was still in the Methodist church kitchen) was my first catering job in college to get some experience before I became an event planner.

Marti took me under her wing and taught me so much, and she later supported me in 2003 when I started my wedding planning company in Athens.

Several years ago, she had a very serious injury — it was critical. I painted a little illustration of her restaurant and sent her a note letting her know how much she meant to me. I couldn’t bear the idea of her leaving this earth without knowing how much she meant to me and how much she helped me along the way.

Then in 2020, Marti passed at the beginning of the pandemic, and I have never been so thankful that I told someone what they had done for me instead of waiting until it was too late.

Every time I see Marti’s, it reminds me to tell people I love them in the moment, tell them thank you right now, make it awkward if it needs to be, but be vulnerable and connect with another human being for whatever reason.

We all long to be seen and heard, and too many of us are suffering in silence, feeling lonely and isolated. Every day I ask God to show me someone to love, give a kind word, or just share a smile with —something to help people know I see them and I care.

Marti left that impact on me, and it’s one tiny way I can pay it forward. 💋

I did a little video documenting the process of painting this in my sketchbook if you want to take a look over on YouTube.
