mr. & mrs.

Ladies and Gentleman, "Mr. & Mrs."
pve design artwork on display
One of the most magical transformations at a wedding are that of the bride & groom being announced as "Mr. & Mrs." This lovely young couple stood before me as I sketched deliberate
lines, known as "gesture drawing."  The culmination of all the plans for this day, finally the symbol of husband and wife to become one.  Is there anything else greater than showing the gesture of love.  They were nervous and full of sheer bliss.  I told them, "show your family and friends your genuine love." I present to you the wedding couple full of love, ready for many happily ever after moments.

How lovely Patricia, you are going to be the next big thing for weddings. They will have you flying all over the place. It adds a whole other dimension to their memories. Have a great weekend.

Sande,
If I need an assistant for my wrapping, I think you are my go-to-gal. Why an entire wedding could be based around one of your delightful wraps!

Patricia, I love your wedding sketches so much! The couple is going to adore them.
Would you recommend, those of us just starting out, work from photos or do you sketch on the scene?
I won't be going anywhere other than here in my town as I only have time for very little sketching work!
...but like Sande, I see you really taking off with this!
Love it!
