Woodholme Country Club Live Event Painting complete!

Wedding and Ceremony at the Woodholme Country Club, Patricia Bennett

This painting is done, best wishes to the couple.  The couple is in the foreground, and the bridal party is on the left.

This painting is a live event painting, studio painting hybrid.

The studio portion took two or three weeks to complete, while the live portion took one day.  I was present at their Ceremony, but couldn't paint it live due to unexpected space issues.  However, I took many photographs, and used them as reference.  I added: the bridesmaids, the bride's brother, the ceremony, the bridal party, and the bride and groom, and the event planner who was definitely a big part of the event.  The bride's cute dog was added to the painting as well, even though he/she wasn't present.

Currently I am making greeting cards for the bride's mother.  These are an extra that I like to do.  I love high quality images of paintings on greeting cards.  And I will also make 8x10 prints and frame them.  Just need some more light cyan ink...

At Stephanie Bradshaw's to meet the Bride for Woodholme Country Club Wedding

Getting Ready for the Wedding on Saturday August 24, 2013 at the Woodholme Country Club...

Today I went to Stephanie Bradshaw's studio to meet the lovely bride, her parents, and her sister to discuss their Saturday wedding and reception.

They like the wedding painting below the best, and want this style.

Wedding at the Four Seasons, painted by Patricia Bennett

The atmosphere was very stylish: Stephanie was dressed in gold with large chandelier earrings.  Three cute little dogs chased each other back and forth across the floor. (The bride's dog is good friends with Stephanie's dog.)

We discussed the wedding colors, the schedule, the flowers, and the important details.

It will be really amazing, I'm thrilled that I get to depict the wedding on canvas in five days!
