This is the acrylic painting of the "Parents of the Bride" on a 16" X 20" canvas. I chose to put in grass instead of the dry leaves. This gave a darker, cooler color behind the couple which contrasts better with the white of her dress and helps the couple come forward visually in the painting. I was asked to paint this as a gift for the couple by their new son-in-law who happens to be the driver of the CaliCab. I painted the CaliCab in 2007. Photos of the cab are in an older blog posting.
Getting a good photo was as problem. There seemed to be a glare on the canvas no matter where or how I positined it. Therefore, the lighter colored areas appear washed out in this photo
Photo reference of the parents of the bride. This is a scanned copy of the photo which has a blue tint in comparison to the original photo.
