Each wood panel frame is 2' x 2' the final piece is 4' x 6' I used acrylic paint and spray varnish:
Crystal & Collin were two of my very best friends in college whom I met by being involved in our A Cappella scene at UConn. Crystal and I were in an all-female group called Rubyfruit and Collin was in an all-male group called CDN (A Completely Different Note). It was a very happy occasion when they got married!
For my gift to them I wanted to paint the most important elements of their life when they got married. They had a beautiful wedding and reception in an apple orchard in CT, where Collin and his groomsmen (and former group members) sang an A Cappella version of "My Girl". I wanted to celebrate that they had recently started their new adult lives in Chicago Illinois by painting the skyline, and because I painted this after their wedding I was lucky enough to grab a photo from the day and paint it on the last two panels.
Then my boyfriend Scott and I rented a car and drove out to Chicago to drop off the paintings and hang out with them in their new city with their also new and super cute pup Ivy.
