I painted this as a gift for my friend's son and his new bride. He is also friends with our daughter and he is the first of her high school group to get married. The wedding was this last Saturday and was so beautiful. It was held in a vineyard in Temecula. It felt so strange to see him standing up there getting married. I still think of him as a kid even though he is now a young adult. I know that others in their group will be following his lead soon but I wish they would wait because it really makes me feel old. Geez, what's next....babies???? I'm too young for this next generation business.
On their wedding website, they posted the photo that I used for this painting. According to the caption on the photo, 'dead ahead' is where he 'popped the question' in Peter's Canyon. I always hesitate to foist one of my paintings on someone unless I know that they like that specific painting because art is so personal and subjective. However, I wanted to give them something that would be personal because their entire family is very special to us. I hope this reminds them of that special day when they committed to becoming husband and wife.
