First Look: Wedding & Reception at the Four Seasons and the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, painted by Patricia Bennett |
I painted this gorgeous wedding and reception February 28 in Denver, Colorado. Their wedding ceremony was at the Four Seasons Denver in the Grand Ballroom and their reception was at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts in the Seawell Ballroom.
The cake, designed by Janusz Zrodlowski of Elegant Bakery to reflect the bride's dress, was extraordinary. It was topped with a foot of spun sugar, which looked like glass. The flower arrangements and decor were also extraordinary, created by Design Works, led by David Squires and Michael Roffino. The band, flown in from New York, also fantastic. The Event Coordinators for both the Four Seasons, Katie Kelly, and the Denver Center for the Performing arts were extremely helpful. And of course Lisa Cook and Leslie Hines from Event with Flair coordinated everything and made it work flawlessly.
Getting to Denver from Baltimore: I flew Southwest, the airplane had a broken part, which needed to be flown in from Texas, so me and the other 200 or so passengers waited four hours at BWI. (I used this time to plan out the painting and discuss my composition ideas with other passengers.) Getting back to Baltimore from Denver: All flights to Baltimore were cancelled due to an ice storm. This was relayed to me and the other 200 or so passengers 20 minutes before boarding, furthermore, no return flights available for two days. So I flew to North Carolina, where I stayed with family, then returned to Baltimore a day later.
