Where does art live?

Where Art Lives - Custom Engagement photo painting

Read on to see where Kelly & Tom’s wedding art lives…

It lives in their hallway…

You may be wondering what ‘it’ is, and I don’t bother to take a picture of it because the piece is not a picture – it is a painting with a picture in it. Kelly and Tom took me out to their wooded property for part of their engagement photo session and they mentioned this as one of their favorite photos. It was used on their save-the-date card. And for each of our clients who spent more thank 6k with us this year I have attempted to do something outside their contract, as contracts seem to constrict the heart – and I need to open mine. As a result I painted this piece, it started with an artistic retouching process:

And continued as I fastened the printed photo to a hardboard and painted in an impressionistic surface with acrylics.

Now art lives in their livingroom

Kelly used a series of framed 4×6 prints to fill her living room with emotional touch points – her wedding photos.
