A Gift to The Bride From The Groom

The groom ordered a set of 16 x 20 paintings for his bride. Purples and pinks press very nicely and are complimented by the natural greens in the background and details.

 Some accents of metallic bronze and gold give the vines and stems a highlight affect.

 Stargazers are amazing and large so it is better to use a larger canvas to display them.

 The bouquet was shipped to me overnight to insure freshness as much as possible. Most weddings are on weekends which means you lose a couple of days for shipping them out.

A Wedding Gift for the Bride Candice

 White roses and eggplant purple callas are all that make up this painting. You don't need too much to create a beautiful keepsake from you wedding bouquet. This is a 16 x 20 canvas.

This is what it looks like when I start laying out the petals to decide what exactly I want to do on the canvas.

Michigan, Balloons & A Wedding - Lisa & Blair, August 4, 2012

Balloons weren't in the plans for the wedding photos, but when Blair and Lisa saw the photos with them
they fell in love with the idea.

It is always a fun challenge to be asked to do something new in a painting. At first I was a bit hesitant, but in the end I was pleasantly surprised with the result.
