When in Rains...




 UNFORTUNATELY, JUST AS I BEGAN this live wedding painting, a torrential downpour set in, forcing me to head under the tent. After about 30-40 minutes it cleared up and I was able to get back out and paint. This made it to where I had to kind of create a scene that didn't happen but was supposed to. Out on the lawn, the jazz band was supposed to be playing while guests watched as the couple poured champagne down the glasses. All of that took place under the tent. By this time it was so humid that I the paint was not drying like it was supposed to, making it almost impossible to get 3/4 of the way finished. So...it will become a studio painting. It's unfortunate, too, because I was really looking forward to painting this. The Historic Tuckahoe has beautiful grounds with gorgeous flowers and fruit trees.

Painted Ornaments





 A few weeks ago, Mark Brich reached out to me about getting an ornament painted of their wedding. I've talked to Lynanne on several occasions about painting ornaments but really haven't moved forward with it. Well...this was the nudge I needed and his wife, Laura, absolutely LOVED it. I'm not sure yet if I want to offer this more, as the tiny details especially with the faces can be a challenge. Overall, I'm pleased with it.
