This was commissioned by the family of the wife. It focuses
on the elements of the couple's wedding vows, the rustic,
weathered frame, and the hummingbird (a favorite of the
couple, who are described as "outdoorsy and
down-to-earth").
Walnut ink and brown gouache were used for the calligraphy
and illustration, respectively. Pastels were used for the
hummingbird coloring and to depict slight motion in its
wings.
Size of the artpiece is 16" x 20"
Final size with matting and framing is 20" x 24"
