Wedding Painter, Part 2

Here are two paintings from my most recent commission. Once again, I was hired as a "wedding painter." It's a new trend that has been growing in popularity. I love doing this kind of work; it's great to be part of such an incredible moment in people's lives.

The first painting was done on the beach of the Longboat Key Resort Club. You can't ask for better scenery. The sun broke through the clouds with beams of light shining down right as the ceremony reached it's conclusion. Beautiful, but it left me scrambling to add it to the painting. The second painting was done at the reception and it is easily the toughest observational painting I've ever done. A large dark room with 150 people moving around and dancing is not conducive to painting! I'm happy with the results given the situation, and looking forward to more wedding paintings.
