wedding time!

at the end of this week, my cousin will be marrying his best friend and combining their families into one. it's very exciting. more so exciting/nerve wrecking is the thought that i am going to be officating the ceremony! eeek!!!

so in order to distract everyone from my painful speech that will probably be laden with choking back tears, i've created these paintings to attach my speech too so i can read it in style.

 

this one and the one underneath are my favorites i think. maybe i'll figure out a way to keep them for myself.

 

their colors are lilac and yellow. perfect for a spring day by the pond. and it'll just be us and their two little kids. i hope the weather works out as well as it did for my wedding. the pond looked like glass when i got married. it was so beautiful.

Blue

so a friend of mine commissioned me to make a painting for her... which is always tough for me. because the moment you put a thought in my head, it seems impossible to make it my own. i think that's why i like abstract art so much. you lead by the feeling and nothing really specific has to come out of it.

the worst part about it is that she was unspecific in what she asked for.... she just gave me one guideline: blue. so of course i started coming up with paintings like this one:

can you get any more unblue than this?

in an attempt to bring in the blue, this came out:

 

and this:

 

i enjoy these paintings but i think part of the problem is that i know this woman and i want something that truly reflects her style...  that being said. you can expect to see some more blue paintings added to my shop shortly. :)
