Nicole contacted me earlier this year after reading an interview I did for The Bride’s Cafe. She had a very special request and hoped I could help. Nicole envisioned a custom, hand-painted wedding certificate allowing space for each wedding guest to sign as witness to their marriage. She explained her color palette included bold jewel tones with a strong peacock theme throughout. Nicole planned to frame the final piece for display as a daily reminder of the day - no pressure!
I created several sketches for Nicole before beginning work on the final piece. The artwork was completely composed free-hand. Each color was layered onto the delicately shimmering matte board as a backdrop. Admittedly I was a bit nervous about capturing the gentle grace of each peacock feather, but in the end I was relieved and pleased.
Thank you Nicole for entrusting me with the creation of this artistic heirloom!
