I was chatting with a close friend of mine recently and mentioned how I've had this idea for a while....I'd love to take regular snapshots from honeymoons and create pieces of art! They don't have to be the best pictures in the world, with the best coloring, or perfectly cropped because all those things can be adjusted in the painting process.
So, we went over and opened my friend's honeymoon photo album and found a great shot...it was taken from the balcony of their hotel room in ITALY. It really was a beautiful picture, but even more than that, it was an image that could instantly take them both back to that balcony...to that moment in time...to the beginning of their marriage. All I had to do...recreate it as an amazing piece of art!
When I was finished, my friend brought the painting out to show her husband (who didn't know anything about my little project) and he instantly recognized it...then suggested they open a bottle of wine, snuggle up on the couch together, and watch their wedding video :)
That was possibly the best complement to my work that I could have heard!
The painting has been framed and hung. It's always fun for me to see my work (art or photography) framed and hung in a home...it's like they've been dressed and they're finally complete.
Would you like to commission your own piece of honeymoon artwork? Just send me an email and we can discuss the details.
