The art of marriage
If you have been reading my few and far between entries, you'll remember that I am in the process of creating a piece of art that Jason and I can incorporate into our wedding. Using our colors of dark brown and light blue, and have before me the task of capturing love, unity, trust and marriage on a canvas. Hmph...this task has been hard! I honestly thought an image would simple pour from my mind, down to my hand, to my brush and onto the canvas. Lets just say that I am on my second canvas and I'm still not sure if I have what I want. I have some ideas for a still life incorporating items that represent these ideas and our relationship specifically. But it has been difficult to get started because I have put some pressure on myself to create something meaningful and memorable, for about 150 people will see it the day of our wedding. This painting means a lot to me, though it hasn't been created yet, and I want to make sure that I create something that really captures all that is Jason and I.
