The Reception
The Reception - Sold
In private collection in Bedford, Texas
Watercolor - 16 x 20 inches
Arches 300 lb. cold pressed paper
This piece was commissioned as a Christmas surprise for the client's brother and sister-in-law. I was given several small snapshots of the male and female subjects and asked to create a painting which included both of them. This task was complicated by the fact that the photos were small and not of high resolution. I also needed to change the clothing of the female based on a separate photo and to recreate her corsage from a different angle. If I had had any idea of the complexity involved, I'd probably not have had the nerve to attempt the project. I'm glad I did though as it was a great learning experience working on this project.
