No working title yet




This was supposed to be a Christmas gift for my father. Unfortunately, my parents moved before the painting was completed.

I do not have a working title yet, but everything within the picture (the falling leaves, the bridesmaid dress and tuxedo, the road) signify change. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The painting was done in watercolor on arches 300 lbs. cold pressed paper. The painting is 16 x 20

I have no critique I'm afraid. It is a very serene and beautiful image.
Well done!

Very nice work. It reminds me of my own wedding. My wife and I were married at the Battery in Charleston, SC. The feeling this conjurs up for me is of our new walk together into our new lives.

"A New Walk"?

How is Plano? I used to travel their quite a bit when I called on the art directors at JC Penney Catalog and retail.

How about "Forever Love". The painting just has that feel to it. Lovely!

I called on the art directors in the home furnishings catalog department. At that time they all worked for Bob Bowler. Does your wife know anyone in the catalog department?

No I haven't heard her say much about that dept. She deals with video production mainly.
