Lifetime Dream
I received a picture of my cousins son with his future wife in the mail...it was a "save the date" picture for their wedding next year. I absolutely loved the reference photo and painted a pastel portrait of them... a beautiful pose that needed to be painted. Two very happy and beautiful people about to share their lives together.
