Mr. & Mrs.
Oil on Canvas, 30” x 40” , sold
So many things to be said about this piece. A year ago I photographed these two at the Cotton Factory in Hamilton and painted my first portrait from my own reference photo. This was a difficult task as I’m not an expert in photography by any means so the lighting and colouring of the reference made the recreation on canvas a huge feat. Not only this, but painting two subjects who are so close to the heart, I was worried about my ability to successfully capture their likeness - as I know it.
As a wedding gift to my sister and her now husband…and after about 5 and a half months of work, I am quite pleased with how everything turned out.
Love these two beyond words and I’m so happy they have something to one day pass along to their children
