Love Story

My latest painting was inspired by dear friends' wedding vows. In the groom's vows, he spoke of when he first met his wife, when she was living in New York City, they would look out at all the windows and talk about how "each window represented a life, a story just like ours, each one was a person, with their own lives, their own dreams, and heartaches, and triumphs, real people just like us."
In the bride's vows she quoted a line from the book The Chaos of Stars by Kierstin White, “And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality… I’d find you, and I’d choose you”.
When I heard these two lines a vision grew in my mind for a painting for them. I took two glass-paned doors and in each individual window, I painted a scene from their courtship, ending in their wedding. It was a very new experience for me to paint on glass, I was not used to painting in reverse order. By the end though I really came to enjoy the process and cannot wait to share the outcome with my friends. I hope that the piece can serve as a reminder of all the different memories painted and many others that couldn’t be included, that make up their beautiful love story.
