A Perfect Moment

First of all...Happy New Year to all my friends here in Blogland.!!
When I went to Raleigh, North Carolina to attend a Wedding,  I was
so happy when my cousin Al caught this beautiful moment of  his son- in-law Adam in that perfect pose with his wife, Christina.  Sometimes, its those candid shots that are the best..Christina's Mom called it the "Loretta Young" pose!   I thought it would be nice to paint it with oils and a little "impressionistic" for a change!!  The wedding was at the Clarion Hotel.  The lovely Clarion Hotel is right in the heart of the City.  The Hotel's 20th floor is home to the "Top of the Tower" Restaurant and lounge offering panoramic views of the City...This is where she got married and the reception followed and a good time was had by all !!!

    Happy New Year Hilda! This is another one of your beautiful memory filled paintings that will mean so much to your family and be cherished forever.

    So sorry to hear that you were hit by Hurricane Sandy. I hope that bit by bit your neighbourhood will recover and your friendships and caring will heal. Here's to 2013 bringing all of you happiness, health and peace.

    I love the design of this--how the arms and his leg seem to echo a similar shape...very effective! You did a great job on the kiss too--just excellent. Hope you do more in "impressionist" oil...you've got the eye.

    Oh Hilda, this is SO well done! The folds in her dress are amazing and the entire composition communicates love and celebration. I bet they love this and love you for doing it!

    This is so lovely, Hilda - very romantic - and I love the way you painted the skirt - I think fabric can be tricky, but you did a wonderful job! I look forward to seeing many more of your beautiful paintings in 2013!

    This is really a gorgeous composition. I like the flow of white fabric from one partner to the other. It kind of brings them together as one, and really creates an effective mood. Nicely done!
