So i was commissioned to paint this one quite a while back and i was so happy when the day came that i reached it on my waiting list! It consists of two vintage photos, one set of parents to one individual from the couple commissioning it, and the other photo is the other set of parents. Actually, the set on the left is my husbands late grandma and grandpa, makes completing this painting extra special. Both photos were wedding photos which adds a fun element, besides the fact that i LOVE vintage photos. Usually i find it really difficult to paint older photos due to their poor contrasts (usually super high) and lighting, and just the damage that they gather over time with fading, but these photos are actually not that bad. The challenge is to get them all onto one painting without them looking like they are just floating there, create one from two. I think i have come up with a good plan of attack and am fully ready to conquer this commission! ........finished it!
