Wedding Gift

November 11th, 2008 · 1 Comment

This fall, I was invited to attend the wedding of a good friend of mine. It was one of the most spectacular displays I have ever witnessed, with extravagant foods presented over 12 courses and enough flowers for 3 weddings. It was truly amazing, and I will try and post some photos.

As a wedding gift, I painted him a watercolor piece depicting the first line of the Shema, a Jewish prayer. Alex met his fiance in Israel, while studying at Yeshiva.

Below I show the evolution of the piece starting from my inking, to the watercolored layers, to the frame. Enjoy!

Framed I'm proud! I liked the ridges on the bottom Grey Background

    The painting framed is truly stunning! Did you hear from your friend if he hung the painting in his new place?
