My last post about Works In Progress showed three wedding paintings that were in various stages of development, and mentioned a fourth that was nowhere near ready to be seen. They're all done and shipped off to their new owners now. Here's how they turned out:
Four very different weddings, four very different paintings. Three focused on the first dance, but I can tell you, they didn't look that way! In two of them, the dances actually took place inside, but I moved them outside. One of those was moved because it was POURING rain, but that shouldn't happen on somebody's wedding, so I made it a sunny day. None of the families and friends were really standing around like they appear. I used a ton of photos to rearrange people and things so that they better reflected the experience of the events. These four couples gave me plenty of artistic license to arrange things as I felt best. They really trusted me, and that trust is a great thing for an artist to have.
I have a bit of a break before my next event in August. I'll be working on several studio projects that have been hanging while these were on the easels. You might see some of them in the coming weeks. Or, if they don't work out, maybe not.
