The Proposal

I loved being asked to do this painting by a young man who had a friend capture his proposal to his girlfriend on film. I like the sneak peak through the leaves!

    Nice painting, it says so much. The looking through the leaves really adds an interesting element also I like your use of different greens, and earthy orange.

      Thanks Shawn, There was so much green I decided to do a red/orange underpainting to try and add a bit of contrast.

      It was a lovely commission. I like a painting with a story as it helps me connect when I haven’t been to the place or taken any photos or sketches myself. I hope they have a happy life together.

        Yes, I imagine it is very helpful to have a story to work to.

      It was. Custom paintings often have an interesting story which is one reason I enjoy them so much.
