new work

This is a painting that I finished this month. A friend of mine commissioned me to paint it as a wedding gift for her husband on their wedding day. It was a lot of fun to make. I incorporated maps of where they met, and an inscription from a letter the mother of the groom sent her, and the date of their wedding typed on my typewriter.
This is the best picture I have of it, and you can't see any of the details. You can get an idea of what it was like though, and in a way it is perfect, as it was such a personal painting for them. Here is to a happy marriage Kristi and Jeff!
