This spring I was commissioned to create a Quaker wedding certificate for a couple who recently got married. This is a piece of art commemorating the ceremony and celebration and was signed by all the attendees-- over one hundred. The couple wanted decorative elements that included a firebirds, a chestnut tree and a few woodland creatures. The piece is gouache with hand drawn lettering in black ink, (plus erasable graphite for the signature lines) on 14x20" watercolor paper.


This piece was a lot of fun to create, and it's always a good challenge to draw creatures I've never painted before! Great project, great couple and I wish them all the happiness in the world.
